WARNING
When replacement
parts are required, use
genuine Schiller Grounds
Care, Inc. parts or parts
with equivalent charac-
teristics, including type,
strength and material.
Failure to do so may re-
sult in product malfunction and possible injury to the
operator and/or bystanders.
Carbon monoxide present in the exhaust is an odor-
less and deadly gas. Never start or run the engine
inside where exhaust fumes can collect.
Provide enough fresh air to keep fumes from getting
too strong. Replace any warning decal that becomes
illegible immediately.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To keep the sod cutter in good operating condition,
perform the following:
• Keep blade sharp; a sharp blade cuts cleaner,
faster and more uniformly and places less load
on the machine. Sharpen cutting edge on bevel
or top side only.
• Keep drive belt at proper tension and free of oil
and dirt at all times.
•
Check engine oil level and air filter element daily.
• Check for loose bolts and connections.
•
All grease fittings are pressurized type. Use a
good grade Lithium Base Grease or equivalent.
Grease eccentric arms sparingly every 4 hours
of service, all others daily. Wipe off all grease
fittings before and after each greasing (there are
a total of 8 grease fittings).
• To make sure the chain on the front drive wheels
is tight, you will need to remove the chain guard
to check this. If tightening is required, loosen
nuts and bolts on the 3/4” pillow block bear-
ings and push the bearings toward the back
of the sod cutter until chain is tight. Make sure
both bearings go back evenly to keep jackshaft
running even with the frame. After doing this, re-
tighten nuts and bolts on the bearing and replace
the chain guard.
• Engine (refer to Honda owner’s manual).
