MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
Your rotary cutter represents an investment from
which you should get the greatest possible benefit.
Therefore, when the season is over, the cutter
should be thoroughly checked and prepared for
storage so that a minimum amount of work will be
required to put it back into operation for the next
season. The following are suggested storage
procedures:
1. Thoroughly clean the cutter.
2. Lubricate the cutter as covered in Maintenance
Section.
3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
4. Check the cutter for worn or damaged parts.
Make replacements immediately.
5. Place driveline in storage position resting on
bracket.
6. Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the
cutter housing resting on blocks.
7. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to
prevent rust and maintain the appearance of
the cutter.
PROPER TORQUE FOR FASTENERS
The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to
this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are
assigned in manual text.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE IN FOOT POUNDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE MANUAL*
NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine
oil. They do not apply if special graphited or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are
used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
