Maintenance
Using the Kickstand when
Tipping the Cutting Unit
Whenever the cutting unit has to be tipped to expose
the bedknife/reel, prop up the rear of the cutting unit
with the kickstand (supplied with the traction unit) to
make sure that the nuts on the back end of the bedbar
adjusting screws are not resting on the work surface
(
).

Lubricating the Cutting
Units
Regularly lubricate the 5 grease fittings of each cutting
unit (
) with No. 2 lithium grease.
There are 2 lubrication points on the front roller, 2 on
the rear roller, and 1 at the reel-motor spline.
Note:
Model 03192 does not have a front roller; there
are only the 2 lubrication points on the rear roller and
1 at the reel-motor spline.
Important:
Lubricating the cutting units
immediately after washing helps purge water out
of the bearings and increases bearing life.
1.
Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2.
Apply grease until clean grease comes out of
the roller seals and the bearing relief valve.
3.
Wipe any excess grease away.
