STORAGE
To prepare your Disc Mower for storage:
3. Clean the mower of all dirt and debris.
4. Drain the oil from the cutter bar and replace with fresh SAE EP 80 W 90 lube oil. (See Lubrication
Instructions)
5. Store the mower on a clean, dry surface in the down (working) position.
6. Loosen the drive belts or remove the belts and store in a dry place.
7. Lubricate all points and slides before storage; this prevents corrosion.
NOTE: Now would be a good time to replace all damaged parts in preparation for the next cutting season.
NEVER DISCONNECT MOWER FROM TRACTOR WITHOUT CUTTER BAR IN
LOWERED TO (OPERATING) POSITION.
PROPER TORQUE CHART FOR FASTENERS
Because of the severe operating conditions, correct bolt torque is very important. An improperly torqued bolt
can be easily shaken loose or broken by the vibrations. When replacing bolts, always use the same grade of
bolt as used originally. Use this chart as a guide to tightening all bolts. Torque valves listed are for general use
only.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE IN FOOT POUNDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE MANUAL*
NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine
oil. They do not apply if special graphited or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are
used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
