4.5 WHEEL BEARING LUBRICATION
Using a pressurized lubrication gun and a lithium based
lubricant, lubricate the wheel bearings. This procedure
should be done at the time of setup and also after every
25 hours of service.
NOTE:
During setup, each wheel cavity should be filled.
The cavity is full when lubricant is seen coming out
of bearing.
4.6 BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Blade height is adjusted by loosening the locking lever
and turning the adjusting knob to raise or lower the front
wheels. See Figure 7.
