7. Install the cotter pins to secure the assembly.
Note: Repeat the previous steps to the remaining
roller.
Checking the Gearbox
Lubricant
The gearbox is designed to operate on SAE 80-90 weight gear
lube. Although the gearbox is shipped with lubricant from the
factory, check the fluid level before operating the mower deck.
1. Move the machine onto a level surface, engage the
parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key
from the ignition.
2. Remove the dipstick/fill plug from the top of the
gearbox (Figure 27) and ensure that the lubricant is
between the marks on the dipstick. If the lubricant
level is low, add enough lubricant until the level is
between the marks.

Adjusting Weight Transfer

On Groundsmaster 3280-D and 3320 models only, refer to
the traction unit Operator's Manual for the procedure to adjust
the counterbalance pressure for best performance.

Using the Grass Deflector

DANGER
Without the grass deflector mounted in place, you
and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown
debris. Contact with the rotating mower blade(s)
and thrown debris can cause injury or death
• Never remove the grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never operate the mower with the deflector
removed from the mower deck or tied/blocked
in a raised position.
The grass deflector is spring loaded into its downward normal
operating position. It can also be moved out of the way to
facilitate loading in a trailer.
