12. CUTTER STORAGE
Properly preparing and storing the cutter at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
It is critical that the driveline clutch slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid cutter and/
or tractor damage. If the cutter sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or
humid air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or
corrosion. If the cutter has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each mowing season, and any
time it is suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in
Seasonal Clutch Maintenance of the maintenance section in this manual.
1. Thoroughly clean all debris off the cutter to prevent
damage from rotting grass and standing water.
2. Lubricate all cutter grease points and fill gearbox
oil level as detailed in the maintenance section.
3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
4. Check the cutter for worn and damaged parts.
Perform repairs and make replacements
immediately so that the cutter will be ready for
use at the start of the next season.
5. Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the cutter
housing resting securely on blocks or at ground
level.
6. Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt
and other contaminants.
7. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to
prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the
cutter.
