7.15 MACHINE MAINTENANCE GENERAL ___________________________________
Other Regular Service
• Verify proper operation of safety interlock switches (Seat switch, etc.)
• Ensure nuts and bolts remain tight.
• visually inspect for hydraulic leaks.
• Keep engine bay clear of debris.
• Keep tyre pressure at correct level. See Section 3.2
• Follow the engine manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations.
• If a label becomes worn or removed, see the LABELS section of this manual or the tractor Parts Manual for
replacement information.
Storage
• Store petrol or diesel fuel in an approved container in a cool dry place.
• Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked storage place to prevent tampering and to keep children
from playing with them.
• Do not store fuel or petrol / diesel fuel powered equipment in any closed area where heating appliances,
pilot lights or any sort of open flame is present.
• Before storing, allow the engine to cool, and drain fuel completely from fuel tanks and containers.
• When the vehicle is not being used for an extended period, the tyre pressures must be increased. Inflate to
the maximum rating on the tyre wall to make sure that flat spots do not occur. Decreased the tyre pressure
before the vehicle is put into operation.
• Maximum safety and best mowing results can only be expected if the mower is maintained and
operated properly.
7.16 LUBRICATION OF CUTTING UNIT ______________________________________
Cleaning
The cutting heads should be washed after use each days and dried as well as possible to prevent rust.
Lubrication
The lubrication fittings at each end of both the front and rear rollers, as well as the reel bearings at each end
should be lubricated periodically (approximately once each week). Use only enough lubricant to keep the
bearings from drying out. Too much lubricant may drop from mower onto turf, causing damage to the grass.
NOTICE
When washing machine with pressure spray washers or steam cleaners, avoid washing bearing areas
because cleaning solutions might penetrate bearing seals and cause premature bearing failure.
