LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

The Mower should be serviced according to the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CHART on page 24.
Check the blade bolts, blades and discharge deflector daily for damage or looseness; Make a general visual
inspection of the Mower for loose or damaged parts. Check nuts and bolts periodically to insure against looseness
caused by vibration or rough handling. Damaged parts should be repaired or replaced before using the Mower
again.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury,
lower Mower to the ground, turn
engine off and remove key before
performing any maintenance. Always
use personal protection devices such
as eye and hearing protection when
performing maintenance functions.
To avoid personal injury, when com-
pleting a maintenance or service
function, make sure all safety shields
are in good condition and installed
before placing Cutter-deck in service.
Never work under equipment sup-
ported by the Tractor Lift arms or any
other hydraulic device because it may
drop if the control is actuated (even
with the engine stopped) or in the
event of failure. Always use a secure
support for equipment which must be
serviced while in the raised position.
To avoid personal injury shut off the
engine and wait until the equipment
stops turning before servicing.
