Regular Checks
PROBLEM SOLVING
Mower Vibrates Excessively
a) Incorrect PTO speed: Check that 540 rpm PTO gear has been engaged. NOT 1000
rpm. Ensure that PTO does not exceed 600 rpm.
b) Blades missing or badly damaged: Fit replacement blades of the same type (ensure
that even sets are replaced).
c) Excessive driveshaft angles: Three-point linkage lifting too high. Limit the amount of
lift
d) Driveshaft universal joint badly worn: Inspect and repair as required.
Mower scalping severely: Raise the cutting height.
Oil or Grease on Drive decks
a) Gearbox output seal leaking: Consult your dealer about repair.
b) Gearbox over full: Gearbox casing should not be filled above oil level plug. Drain if
necessary.
c) Wing hinge pins over-greased: Clean off excess grease.
