Ensure each hydraulic cylinder is installed and
retained correctly. Ensure the proper size pins
are used to retain the cylinders in place and are
secured with pins.
Check for hydraulic oil leaks on the cylinders,
along the hydraulic lines, and at tractor hydraulic
ports.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your hands to check
for oil leaks. Use a piece of heavy paper or
cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks.
Perform scheduled lubrication as specified in the
maintenance section.
Inspect each gearbox oil level and replenish if
needed. A low oil level is a warning sign that the
gearbox may be cracked or its seal is damaged
and needs to be replaced.
Ensure all gearbox vents are in place and free
from clogs.
Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and
excessive wear. Make sure the mower is securely
blocked up before crawling beneath. Make sure
that wing lock pins are installed before approaching
a raised wing. Replace damaged, worn, and
missing blades as complete sets to maintain rotary
balance.
Ensure carrier hub nuts are tightened with the cotter
pin inserted and spread.
Inspect the condition of the deck skid shoes and
the skid shoe attaching hardware.
Ensure that the mower is equipped and secured
with wing and center section transport lock pins.
Check the condition of the wing hinge pins.
Check the condition of the mower axle suspension
spring.
Inspect mower tire condition, wheel bearings, and
lug nut torque.
Check that hitch pins are securely in place. Make
sure safety chains are securely wrapped around
the tractor, flex arm and mower.
