McConnel SR460/620/820 flex wing mowers are designed to withstand the most rigorous conditions and with a
little care and attention will give many years of trouble free service. So as not to invalidate the warranty and to
avoid problem, use only genuine McConnel parts and make sure the machine is not driven at a speed in excess
of 540/1000 rpm on the PTO.
5.11.2 Returning the Machine Back to Work
Returning the machine back to work, in most cases, is similar to preparing the machine for storage shown in
Section 5.11.1. If the procedure shown in that section is adhered to, a lot of the preparation work will have
already been done to quickly reintroduce the machine back into work condition.
Follow the following points:
5.11.2.1 Depending on the period of the machine being unused and whether the machine has been stored
outside, the machine may require cleaning.
Great care should be taken when using pressure washers. Do not hold the pressure washer lance
close to the paintwork and items containing seals as this can cause damage and discolouration.
McConnel does not recommend using steam cleaners.
5.11.2.2 Disassemble each of the machine clutches and with emery cloth remove all traces of rust on the metal
clutch plates (if present). Reset the spring tension on each of the slip clutches following the guidance
shown in Section 5.4.
Check the condition of the friction plates, if there is any sign of overheating, wear or cracking; replace
with new. Do not attempt to use the machine with damaged slip clutch plates.
5.11.2.3 Fit the input PTO shaft and splitter/centre rotor gearbox coupling following the guidance given in
Section 4.5.1 and torque the taper pin to 230Nm (170 ft/lbs).
5.11.2.4 Inflate tyres (including wing tyres) to the correct pressure as stated in Section 5.7.1.
5.11.2.5 If not carried out before storage, grease all grease points following the guidance given in Section 5.2.
5.11.2.6 If not carried out before storage, tighten all fasteners, pins and hoses to the recommended torque.
5.11.2.7 Remove the smeared grease found along the length of exposed plated hydraulic ram shafts and any
other exposed threaded item which were put on during the storage period.
5.11.2.8 Carry out a full machine inspection, using the Machine Inspection Record guide sheet found in Section
5.10.
