Inspections before Use
Always disengage PTO, Switch off tractor engine and engage the parking brake before making adjustments
to the machine.
1. With the whole machine as level as possible, check the oil level in all gearboxes. Top up if required through the oil
filler plug. The correct level is at the oil level plug.
2. Grease all lubrication points as outlined in the Maintenance section of this booklet.
3. Check parts for wear.
4. Check the blade mounting bolts are tight.
5. Ensure the gearbox shaft nuts are tight and retained in place by split pin.
6. Check tightness of all nuts, bolts and pins.
7.
Ensure safety guards and flaps are in place at all times where fitted. If these become worn or missing, replace
them immediately with new ones.
8.
Due to the corrosive nature of grass when cut, wash down the machine when finished mowing, especially when
the machine is being stored for a long period of time.
Starting Regulations
Always check that any imminently dangerous conditions have been eliminated before using the machine.
Ensure all guarding is present & the operator is fully aware of the operations of the machine.
Always ensure the pins lock the PTO shaft yoke ends onto the spline shafts on both the tractor and the
implement. An unlocked shaft could slip out of position, causing notable mechanical damage and serious
injury to both operator and bystanders.
