- BLADE TIMING PROCEDURE
- 1. Raise the mower to minimum height to allow sufficient clearance between the mower deck and ground to visually inspect blade carriers.
- 2. Completely shut down the tractor and secure the tractor in position by placing the tractor in park and setting the parking brake. Securely block the mower at this height.
- 3. On a side gearbox, remove connecting coupler.
- 4. Manually rotate carriers until blades are positioned at near 90 degree angle from one another. See Fig. Mnt-R-0102
- 5. Replace connecting coupler.
- 6. Manually spin carriers a complete rotation to ensure blades do not collide with one another.
- SLIP CLUTCH
- SEASONAL CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
- 1. Loosen nuts (Figure Mnt-R-0251) on springs until the springs can freely rotate, yet remain secure on bolts.
- 2. Attach mower to tractor and start the tractor. Set the engine speed at 1200 RPM.
- 3. Engage the PTO (approximately one second) and then quickly disengage it. The friction lining plates shoulder break loose.
- 4. Turn tractor off and tighten the nuts on the springs to their original position of 1-9/16” compressed spring length.
- SEASONAL CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
- STORAGE
- 1. Thoroughly clean the cutter.
- 2. Lubricate the cutter as covered in Maintenance Section.
- 3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.
- 4. Check the cutter for worn or damaged parts. Make replacements immediately.
- 5. Place driveline in storage position resting on bracket.
- 6. Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the cutter housing resting on blocks.
