CUTTER BAR MAINTENANCE
Before undertaking any maintenance always stop the
engine and remove the spark plug cap.
After every 4 hours of work grease the drive unit at the
lubricationpoints(gure27).
The oil bath control units contain 1 litre of oil and do not
require greasing just periodic checks to ensure proper oil
levels.
To check the oil level of an oil bath drive, remove the
oscillatingsafetydevice(Aingure28) then removethe
oil plug and make sure the oil level is approximately 60mm
below the hole.

Ensure the cutter bar blades are clean and sharp at all
times. After each use wash the cutter bar to remove any
grass or soil (gure 31) and check the sharpness of the
blades.
After washing lubricate the blade to avoid oxidation, use an
old paintbrush or similar to smear grease over the cutter
blades.

including those securing the bar to the drive unit and
machineimplement(gure32).
