the arm does not contact the drum unit and force it downward into
the ground.
Failing to heed these warnings
may cause damage
to the machine.
DO:
run the mower at 540 RPM, starting at idle speed and gradually
increasing the throttle. Running the mower at too slow of an RPM will
make cutting less efficient and stress the machine and the tractor.
DO NOT:
turn on an electric PTO with the throttle at high speed, which
will apply extreme torque to the PTO shaft. Damage to the shaft or
drive components may occur. If the engine stalls when turning on the
PTO, keep turning it on until drums get up to speed.
DO:
replace blades regularly to ensure a sharp cut.
The machine is shipped with oil in the gearboxes.
Double-check the oil
level and top off before each use.
Use an extreme pressure (EP) gear
oil near 90 weight (80w90 is a common type).
There is no drain plug for the drum unit gear chamber. An oil suction
pump is recommended to remove oil when changing it in the
beginning of each season. The pump can also be used to ensure that
all spent oil has been removed from the 90 degree gearbox that is
attached to the 3 point hitch frame.
