MAINTENANCE
Before operating your Rotary Mower, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a
minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and
trouble free operation.
Always disengage the PTO before raising the Rotary Cutter for transporting or making
adjustments.
Lubrication
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The
accompanying illustration shows lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in hours,
based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Use Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250 for all locations shown according to instructions. Be sure to clean
the fitting thoroughly before using grease gun. Daily lubrication of the wing driveline slip joint is necessary.
Failure to maintain proper lubrication will result in damage to U-joints, gear box and/or drive shaft.
When attaching QD. yoke to tractor PTO, or gear box shaft, it is important that spring
activated locking pin or collar slides freely and locking balls are seated in groove on splined
shaft. A loose yoke could slip off and result in personal injury or damage to cutter.
