Never wash
your
Greenfield
mower with a high-pressure wash
gun.
Water and dirt
could be blasted
past
the seals
in
the
bearings causing
premature
bearing
failures and rusted
pivot points.
Never wash
your
Greenfield
mower
immediately after use. The
quenching
conkaction effect from hosing the machine
while at operating
temperature could also draw
water and dirt into
the bearings and cause
premature
bearing
failures.
The
best way to clean
your
Greenfield
is to
use
an air hose to
blow
loose
grass,
etc from around
pulley's,
belts
and the
top of the cutter deck. Wash
the exterior with
a
sponge
and
bucket, then rinse off with
a
hose and
wipe
it
down
the
same way as
you
would
your
car.
For maximum
machine
life, do not
spray
water
directly on the
pulley's
and bearings.
Reoil all
pivgts
after washing.
Allow
your
Greenfield
to cool after use
then clean off all
grass
and
other debris before storing. Sticks,
stones
or an
accumulation of
grass
and other debris will damage
belts and fracture pulleys
if they
go
between
the
pulley
and
belt.
When operating
in these conditions the cutter
deck may require more
frequent cleaning.
Chassis
Lubrication
Your
Greenfield
mower has
3
greasing points. A
grease
nipple
is fitted to
each
king
pin
housing
in
the
front
axle beam,
the third
grease
nipple
is fitted to the steering idler which
is located
in
the centre of the machine close behind the
front
axle beam and accessible from under
the
chassis.
Grease these locations
every 6 months or 50 operating hours with a
quality
No. 2 lithium base
grease
or equivalent.
It is recommended
your grease
gun
be fitted with a flexible hose
for
easier
access. All other exposed
pivot
joints,
lever
points
and
slides are to be
lubricated
with
engine
oil.
Belts
"V"
belts on Greenfield mowers are self-adjusting
although the
cutter belt
may
occasionally require an extra manual
adjustment
within
its
working
life
(see page
l2). Inspect the "V"
belts regularly and replace if
damaged.
Part numbers
for "V"
belts are:
Drive
V belt - GT
2354
Cutter V belt -

the clutch
ineffective, even dangerous.
Cutter
Blades

and blade holder.

preserve
balance.
