SHEAR BOLTS

A shear bolt on the implement end of the tractor drive shaft protects the tractor PTO from severe shock loads.
If this shear bolt should break, only replace it with the specified size and grade of metric bolt.

slip clutches properly maintained.

Storage

Properly preparing and storing the mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and
to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
Clean any dirt or debris off the mower deck.
1. Scrape any accumulated cuttings off the under side of the deck. Coat the deck underside and any other
exposed metal surfaces with oil to prevent rusting.
2. If the mower is left unused for an extended period of time, install the transport pins. Disconnect the
hydraulic cylinders at the rod end and retract the rods for storage. Retracting the cylinder rods will prevent
rusting, ensure that the cylinders are full of oil, and relieve pressure in the hydraulic circuit. If the cylinder
rods are not retracted smear grease over exposed hydraulic cylinder rods.
3. Apply grease to exposed threaded adjustment screws. These include the cylinder depth stop collar and the
frame leveling rod.
4. Install the hitch jack on the jack mount located on the outer hitch frame.
5. Lubricate all mower grease points and fill gearbox oil levels as detailed in the maintenance section.
6. Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt and other contaminants.
7. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the mower.
8. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.
