EP90 API GL-5
’ gear oil as necessary
to the correct level line on the dipstick provided with each gearbox.
•
Dismantle and clean PTO sliding surfaces and re-grease. Grease
universal joints (Fig. 3).

Regularly
•
Check there is no wrapping of string, plastic, grass or other debris
between rotor boss and blades.
•
Inspect gearbox seals for leaks.
•
Regularly check the rotor boss retaining castle nut for tightness. First
remove the split pin, select the correct size socket in 3/4” drive and fully
tighten the nut. When replacing the split pin, do not slacken the nut to
align the hole, always tighten. Failure to regularly check this nut will
result in serious wear to hub, which is expensive to repair.
•
It is most important that all gearbox and blade bolts are regularly
checked to be very tight.
When the machine is new there will be a
‘bedding in’ period where very frequent checking is important.
