BOLT
Before
operating the mower for the first time,
check
the bolt holding the blade. It
must
be tight. After the first 8 hours of operation,
check
it again. Whenever the blade is
removed,
it is good practice to install a new lockwasher under the bolt, and again
check
tightness
after the next 8 hours of operation.
A
CAUTION:
Keep all nuts, bolts, and
screws
tight
to be
sure
the
equipment is in safe working condition.
BENT
BLADE
Check
for bent blade before mounting the mower and after impact Blade tips should
be within 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the same horizontal plane. Mowing with bent blade will
cause
missed
strips and a poor mowing job. A bent blade should be replaced immediately.
A
CAUTION:
The vehicle and attachments should be stopped and
inspected
for damage after striking a foreign object, and the damage
should
be repaired before restarting and operating the equipment.
