• Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness
and excessive wear. Rotate to 90° to make for
checking easier. Replace damaged, worn, and
missing blades as complete sets to maintain
cuttershaft balance.
• Ensure rubber deflectors are in position and
not damaged. Replace worn, broken, and
missing sections immediately.
• Ensure the rollers are in good condition and
rotate freely.
• Inspect that all bolts and screws are in position
and are properly torqued.
• Ensure hydraulic lines are properly connected
to the hydraulic motor. Check for hydraulic
leaks along hoses and fittings. DO NOT use
your hands to check for oil leaks. Use a piece
of heavy paper or cardboard to check for
hydraulic oil leaks.

• Ensure the drive belt shields are in place and
in good repair.
• Remove any grass or other debris which may
be wrapped around the cuttershafts ends.

hardware.
