MAINTENANCE
Tongue
The Tongue Hitch Pins attach the Tongue to the Center Section and should be checked for signs of wear or
cracking. Replace as needed. The Drawbar 1” bolt fastens the cutter to the tractor Drawbar. When the cutter is
unhitched and this 1” bolt is removed, examine for signs of cracking wear. Replace the Drawbar 1” bolt at first
signs of either problem. Attach Safety Chain securely to cutter and tractor.
CENTER & WING GEARBOXES
The Gearboxes have been filled with lubricant to the proper level prior to shipment. However, you should check
the oil level using dipstick before operating, and frequently thereafter.
The gearbox should not require additional lubricant
unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is
recommended that the dipstick plug be checked
after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added
until it reaches proper level. Dipstick Filler Plugs are
located on top of all Gearboxes. Mnt-R-0004.
