Storage
Before storing away, thoroughly wash the machine removing all traces of grass and
dirt. Great care must be taken when washing with high-pressure hoses, do not hold
the water jet close to the paintwork. Use steam cleaners with caution and be sure to
remove all detergents to avoid any discoloration or damage to the paintwork.
Grease all grease points until fresh grease shows. Liberally apply used engine oil
along the whole length of the hinges of each wing section. The centre clutch coupling
and wing shafts must be removed and stored under cover. Smear grease on the
hydraulic ram chromed rods for protection
After Storage
Disassemble clutches and with an emery cloth remove all traces of rust on the metal
clutch plates. Check condition of the friction plates, if there is any sign of over
heating, wear or cracking, replace with new. Do not attempt to use the machine with
damaged slip clutch plates.
Reassemble the clutch units and tighten the bolts to achieve the correct spring
length. Do not over tighten or the clutches will not work.
Check condition of tyres and pressure then follow the maintenance procedure
covered in the servicing part of this manual. Pay particular attention to the condition
of guards and blades.
Remember the
420 Rotary Cutter
is designed to withstand the most rigorous
conditions and, with a little care and attention, will give many years of trouble free
service. So as not to invalidate the warranty and to avoid problems, use only genuine
parts and make sure the machine is not driven at a speed in excess of 1000r.p.m. on
the PTO.
