Steel Construction. No maintenance required.
Belts – V-type Every 10 Hours
Inspect every 10 hours of run time. If a belt
loses drive force from excessive slippage, a
recommendation would be to replace all belts at
that time.
Belt Guards / Shaft Guards Before Every Use
Check all guarding prior to use. Visually check
for all fasteners are in place. Replace any
missing fasteners.
Drive Coupling Before Every Use
Visually check to make sure coupling is in place
and Gray spider gear cover is fully covering
blue spider gear. Remove guard and reposition
cover if necessary.
Clutch Before Every Use
Start unit with throttle in lowest position. Clutch
should not engage and blades should not turn
until engine is throttled increasing RPM to
above 2000 RPM. If blades turn when below
2000 RPM, the clutch is not working as
designed and must be repaired
Blades Before Every Use
Check blades for damage to teeth, check to
make sure locking nut is secure, check to make
sure blades are not touching each other and the
blades are not cracked. If any of the above
problems are found, repairs or replacements to
the blades and the fasteners will need to be
made before use.
