MAINTENANCE
Maintenance requirements for the Fieldmaster GMF have been kept to the minimum
without sacrificing long life, and reliable operation. The wing hinges and lift rams are on
‘greasable pins’. (4 x grease points)
Items which do require maintenance or adjustment are designed or chosen to be the best
available – blade rotors and gearboxes for instance feature sealed high tensile shafts, and
tough steel housings with labyrinth protectors to discourage stringy material wrapping into
the bearings.
ii. Changing Blades
a) Raise the mower on the tractor hydraulics.
b) Lower the parking stands onto firm ground beneath to prevent accidental lowering.
c) Fling-tip flails (‘Gold-tips’): use a 17mm spanner to undo the self-locking nut which
secures the blade bolt. It is preferable to fit new bolts and nuts when changing
blades.
iii. Lubrication
Grease GMF after use, preferably while the moving parts are still warm. When the bearings
are warm the grease flows around them and expels used grease and dirt more readily.
a) ROLLER BEARINGS:
Grease nipples are fitted to each roller bearing housing. Apply three pumps (2g) of
multi-purpose grease per bearing at the end of a day’s work
b) DRIVESHAFT:
To grease the driveshaft it should be disconnected from the tractor end and
separated. Clean the sliding tubes and apply a liberal amount of multi-purpose
grease. Grease nipples are fitted to the cross of each universal joint and should
receive three pumps (2g) of multi-purpose grease.
Washing
Always grease the bearings before washing and avoid directing hoses at bearing housings,
especially if they are still warm after use. A housing will suck water into the bearings as it
cools and may severely shorten their life.
