MAINTENANCE
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
LUBRICATION
1.
Gearbox: The gearbox should be filled with SAE90 oil to the bottom edge of the
lower oil plug when shipped. Check this before using the cutter and at regular
intervals to see that this oil level is maintained.
2. Grease wheels, tail wheel spindle sleeve, universal joints and shield bushings on
the PTO shaft after every eight hours of use. Lubricate the telescoping PTO tube
and the PTO quick release about every twenty
hours of use.
3.
Shielding: Always keep all shielding in place and repair or replace if damaged.
4.
Blades: When replacing or grinding the cutting blades, both blades must be
replaced or reground at the same time to maintain the proper balance in the
cutting unit.
IMPORTANT: Use Buhler replacement blades only. Using substitute blades
may be dangerous. When changing blades, open the access door on the deck
and take the screws out of the blades. Replacing the new or sharpened blades
is done with the back of the mower raised and securely blocked so it will not fall.
Bolt on the blades and close the access door.
