Gear Box Lubricant
The gear box is designed to operate with SAE 80-90 gear
lube. Although the gear box is shipped with lubricant from
the factory, check the level before operating the cutting unit
for the first time and every 150 operating hours thereafter.
Change the lubricant in the gear box every 400 operating
hours.
