TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,
Do Not Lubricate Or Adjust The TurnAer
With the Engine Running.
Remove The Wire From The Spark Plug.
All Of The Following Lubrication And Adjustment
Procedures Involve Or Are Near Rotating Part And
Moving Parts. Follow All Safety Precautions And
Wear The Appropriate Safety Gear.
LUBRICATION
Rear Transport Wheels:
Grease fittings on the rear
transport wheels after every 8 hours of operation.
Drive Train Components, Chain, Sprockets, And
Pivot Points:
All bearings in the drive train require
no lubrication. Periodic inspection should be done
to insure that any worn bearings are detected and
replaced. The chains requires no lubrication. Protect
chains from rust and moisture with a very light
coating of machine oil. The chain sprockets should
be cleaned of any dirt build-up to ensure proper
chain contact. Periodically inspect the chain and
sprockets for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Periodically clean the entire machine of dirt, grease
and grass build-up and lubricate all pivot points with
light machine oil.
Engine and Gear Reducer:
CHECK OIL LEVELS
DAILY.
Follow the engine manufacturer’s manual
WARNING
SAFE-12
for intervals of oil change, proper oil types, and fill
levels for the engine and the gear reduction unit.
ADJUSTMENTS
Check and retighten nuts and screws frequently to
ensure safe operation.
Chain Idler Sprocket Adjustment (See Figure 11
and 12):
The chain idler sprockets (one located on
right hand side, two located on left hand side) can
be adjusted to remove excess slack in the drive
chains caused by chain wear or stretch. Remove
side guards. Before adjusting idler sprocket position,
ensure that the chain and all sprockets have been
cleaned and that the chain seats properly on the
sprockets. A build–up of dirt on the sprockets or chain
can cause the chain to become too tight. Inspect all
the sprockets, bearings, and the chain for wear or
damage.
Step 1.
Remove both side guards. Rear transport
wheels should be down (tines raised).
Step 2.
Loosen the idler sprockets. Move idler
sprockets along adjusting slot until the chains have
an up and down movement of 1/2” inch to 3/4” inch
(as shown in Figures 11 and 12). Tine wheels and
front tires should be free to rotate during adjustment.
Ensure that all slack in the chain is taken up between
the other sprockets before taking measurement.
Step 3.
Retighten idler sprocket and recheck tension
setting measurement. Replace both side guards.
