STOW CUTTER 3 CE SAW — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #5 (09/22/06) — PAGE 37
General Transmission Care (Self-Propelled Models only)
All Cutter 3 CE model saws utilize spline gear wheel design
coupled with an EATON Model 7 Hydrostatic Transmission that
provides forward/reverse propulsion. The simple design of the
system keeps maintenance to a minimum.
Transmission Reservoir Cup:
Check every 8 hours of operation. When the transmission
is
cold
(A), check oil level against the level indicator (see
Figure 52).
Servicing:
The transmission reservoir is factory filled. Should servicing
be required, use SAE20W-20, API classification (SE,CC,CD)
or better, General Motors Dexron B, Ford M2C-33F, M2C-
41A or International Harvester Hy-Tran fluids. For extreme
hot weather
, drain oil and refill with an oil having a viscosity
of SAE30W-30 or SAE40W-40.

Spline Gear Wheels:
Check every 25 hours and clean as necessary. If the spline
wheels DO NOT engage the
rear
wheels
with sufficient
pressure, slippage of the rear wheels may occur.
To adjust the
Spline Gear Assembly
:
1. Place the
transmission engage/disengage lever
in the
DISENGAGE position (Figure 53) .

CAUTION
DO NOT use multiple viscosity oils! DO NOT OVERFILL.
NOTE
Excessive tension on the drive chain
will reduce chain life.
Bearing Lubrication Care
There are four grease points for the Cutter 3 CE saw. [Use only
Premium Extreme Pressure Grease, conforming to NLG1 Grade
#2 consistency.]
Rear Wheels (1):
Grease daily, see Undercarriage Assy., item 10
Blade Shaft Bearings (2):
Grease daily, see Blade Shaft Assy., item 15
Raise/Lower Adjust Tube (1):
Grease daily, see Raise/Lower Assy., item 2
Drive Chain:
Check every 50 hours. Periodically wipe the chain clean and
re-lubricate with penetrating chain oil.
The drive chain may stretch requiring tension adjustments.
To adjust the drive chain tension:
1. Loosen the (3) transmission attachment screws (Hydrostatic.
Transmission Assy., item 2)
2. Pivot the transmission in the
“U” slots
of the
transmission
mount
until the proper tension is achieved (Hydrostatic
Transmission Assy., item 7).
Engine tank & strainer:
Clean every year/or 300 hours.
Fuel line:
Replace every two years/or as necessary.
Spark plug:
Clean/adjust every 6 months/or 100 hours. Replace every
year/ or 300 hours.
