Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s)
Maintenance Service
Interval
Before each use or daily
Every 50 hours
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously
injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any
maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Greasing the Bearings
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
Each cutting deck has two grease fittings per spindle.
Either fitting can be used, which ever is more accessible.
If the machine is operated under normal conditions,
lubricate blade spindle bearings (Figure 6) with No. 2
general purpose lithium base grease or molybdenum
base grease, after every 50 hours of operation. Pump
grease into the fitting until a small amount appears at
bottom of the spindle housing (under the deck).
Each cutting deck has two grease fittings per rear roller.
If the machine is operated under normal conditions,
lubricate rear roller bearings (Figure 7) with No. 2
Maintenance Procedure
• Check the blade stopping time.
• Grease the bearings

general purpose lithium base grease or molybdenum
base grease, after every 50 hours of operation.
Important: Make sure the grease groove in each
roller mount aligns with the grease hole in each end
of the roller shaft. To help align the groove and hole,
there is also an flat on one end of the roller shaft.
Separating the Cutting Decks
from the Traction Unit
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting decks to the floor, shut the engine off, and
engage the parking brake.
2. Disconnect and remove the hydraulic motor from
the deck (Figure 8). Cover the top of the spindle to
prevent contamination.
Note: The rear cutting deck motors are positioned
different than the front motors. Note the motor
orientation for correct reassembly.
