drive pulley and idler.

guide, 1 washer
and 1 bearing

3. WHEELS / SHAFTS / CHAINS
- Grease the reel blade shaft, the front caster wheels
fittings and the fittings on the rear wheels.
- Check shaft and reel drive chain... lubricate if needed.
- Check roller chain tension once each week. To tighten,
raise the roller aligning the roller shaft parallel to the
drive shaft. This puts the roller at the furthest point of
movement. Loosen the U-bolts and the set screw on
each side then move the roller back evenly until there
is 1/2” vertical movement of the chain. Make sure the
roller spacing is even across the back (with the yoke)
and that the chain alignment is straight to the shaft
sprocket. Tighten the U-bolts and set screws.
- Lubricate all the drive chains with engine oil and
momentarily run the machine to spin off excess oil
before use.
- Check to ensure that all guards are in place and are
tight before operating.
