Checking the Hydraulic
Lines and Hoses
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key.
Inspect the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for
leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear,
loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical
deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before
operating.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Make sure that all hydraulic fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into skin.

Cutting Unit Maintenance

Cutting Unit Safety

A worn or damaged cutting unit can break, and a
piece of a reel or bedknife could be thrown at you
or bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
•
Inspect the cutting units periodically for wear or
damage.
•
Use care when checking the cutting units. Wrap
the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the reels and bedknives. Only replace or
sharpen the reels and bedknives; never straighten
or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1
reel can cause other blades to rotate.
Backlapping the Cutting
Units
WARNING
Contact with the reels or other moving parts
can result in personal injury.
• Keep fingers, hands, and clothing away
from the reels or other moving parts.
• Never attempt to turn the reels by hand or
foot while the engine is running.
Note:
When backlapping, the front units all operate
together, and the rear units operate together.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut
off the engine, and move the PTO switch to the
O position.

2. Unlock and raise the hood to expose the
controls.
3. Make initial reel-to-bedknife adjustments
appropriate for backlapping on all cutting units
which are to be backlapped; refer to the cutting
unit Operator's Manual.
4. Select either front, rear, or both backlap levers to
determine which units to backlap
5. Start the engine and run at low idle speed.
DANGER
Changing the engine speed while
backlapping may cause the reels to stall.
• Never change the engine speed while
backlapping.
• Only backlap at low idle engine speed.
