5. Ensure the gearbox shaft nuts are tight and retained in place by split pin.
6. Check tightness of all nuts, bolts and retaining screws after the fi rst and second hours of work.
7. Ensure safety guards and fl aps are in place at all times where fi tted.
8. Due to the corrosive nature of grass when cut, wash down the machine when fi nished mowing, especially when
the machine is being stored for a long period of time.
Always ensure the PTO shaft yoke ends are locked onto the splined shafts on both the tractor and the implement. An
unlocked shaft could slip out of position, causing notable mechanical damage and serious injury to both operator and
bystanders.
