ROTARY HEAD INSPECTION
• Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness
and excessive wear. Rotate to 90° to make for
checking easier. Replace damaged, worn, and
missing blades as complete sets to maintain
rotary balance.
• Ensure carrier hub nuts are tightened with the
cotter pin inserted and spread.
• Ensure rubber deflectors are in position and not
damaged. Replace worn, broken, and missing
sections immediately.
• Ensure hydraulic lines are properly connected
to the hydraulic motor. Check for hydraulic
leaks along hoses and fittings. DO NOT use
your hands to check for oil leaks. Use a piece of
heavy paper or cardboard to check for hydraulic
oil leaks.
• Inspect the condition of deck and hardware.
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the decks are securely blocked up.
All Safety Shields, Guards and other safety devices including (but not limited to) Deflectors,
Steel Guards and Gearbox Shields must be used and maintained in good working
condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or
broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the
possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or contact.
