INSTALL SAFETY SHIELDING
Chain Shielding (Optional)
DANGER
■ Full chain shielding must be installed when op-
erating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
•
If this machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation must be stopped.
•
This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and pro-
tective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every
mowing condition. It is possible for objects
to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as
300 feet (92 m).
The optional chain shielding assemblies are ready for
installation when you receive them.
1. Refer to Front & Rear Chain Shielding, page 40,
and attach as shown by inserting the bolts from in-
side the cutter frame out through the shielding.
2. Install hardware as shown in the parts drawing.
FILL GEARBOX
NOTICE
■ Gearbox is not filled at the factory. Prior to de-
livery to customer, make sure gearbox is filled
only half-full with 80W or 90W API GL-4 or GL-5
gear lube. Use side plug to remove any excess
oil.
1. Remove solid plug and discard.
2. Make sure vent plug hole is clear.
3. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on gear-
box. Use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of
GL-4 or GL-5.
4. Install vent plug. Use pipe sealant or thread tape on
threads. Plug is shipped in the manual tube.
