CHECK LUBRICANT IN GEAR BOX

(Fig. 4)
The gear box is designed to operate on SAE 80–90 wt.
gear lube. Although the gear box is shipped with
lubricant from the factory, initially, check the level before
operating the cutting unit and every 50 hours thereafter.
Check daily for signs of oil loss.
1. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level
surface.
2. Remove check plug from side of gear box and make
sure lubricant is up to bottom of hole. If level of lubricant
is low, remove fill plug on top of gear case and add
enough lubricant to bring it up to bottom of hole in side.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT–OF–CUT
The height–of–cut is adjustable from 1 to 5 inches in 1/2
inch increments. Positioning the castor wheel axles in
the top holes of the castor forks or pivots (See charts)
allows low range height–of–cut settings from 1 to 3–1/2
in.; positioning the castor wheel axles in the lower holes
of the front castor forks or rear castor pivots (See charts)
allows high range height–of–cut settings from 2–1/2 to 5
in.
1. Start the engine and raise the cutting unit so
height–of–cut can be changed. Stop engine after cutting
unit is raised.
2. Position all castor wheel axles in the same holes in
the castor forks or pivots.
FRONT CASTOR WHEELS
1. Remove H.O.C. cap from spindle shaft and slide
spindle out of front castor arm. Slide spacers onto
spindle shaft to get desired height–of–cut.
2. Push castor spindle through front castor arm install
remaining spacers onto spindle and install HOC cap to
secure assembly.

BEFORE OPERATING

Note: On Center deck only, make sure washer remains
on bottom of spindle shaft.
