After storage period, before the machine is used:
check the mower's technical condition, and the transmission in particular,
supplement the paint where missing,
make sure that all nuts and screws are tightened properly,
make sure that all guards are in place,
protect all moving parts with grease in order to prevent their baking and creating any sources of
corrosion, which significantly influences mower's proper operation,
check oil level in axis gears and cutterbar. If leaks are found remove them immediately and
refill the oil. If water in oil is found, immediately change the oil as it could cause corrosion of
internal mechanisms such as gear wheels, bearings, or shafts, and cause breakdowns.

Torque values for bolts
In the absence of specific torque values, the following chart can be used as a guide to the
maximum safe torque for a particular size and grade of fastener. There is no torque difference for
fine or coarse threads. Torque values are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce value by 10% if
threads are oiled before assembly.

Cleaning belts and rollers
NOTE:
Check the condition and the conveyor belts condition after each hour of
operation. If you find bulges caused by rolling the grass onto rollers, clean
them by using the lever and remove the grass. Using conveyors with bulged
belts may lead to their premature wearing.
NOTE: Conveyor belts are not covered by warranty.
