Always balance the mower blades each time they are sharpened.
Out of balance mower blades cause excess vibrations which lead to premature bearing failures,
bolts coming loose, and overall deterioration of the mower.
Always properly tighten the blade bolts to the specified torque. Failure to do so can
lead to unwanted loosening of the blade and damage to the blade holding saddle.
The Model MR44BE uses the Kunz Engineering Part # (202141) blade bolt. This particular hex
head bolt is a 3/4” –
16NF x 1-
1/4” long, grade 5 and it
s proper torque is 300 ft-lbs.
To ease in the blade installation process, use the same block of wood and method used during
the removal of the blades.
C.
LUBRICATION
There are three lubrication points on the rough cut mower -- one spring-loaded idler pivot and
two caster wheel pivots. Lubricate at approximately 10 hr. intervals or more often as required in
dusty conditions.
