3. Set the skid height:
a. Use the mower to mow a section of turf.
b. Examine the finished job. If the finish is
unacceptable, the skid height will need to be
adjusted to suit.
c. Work on one mower deck at a time. Add one
washer to each stud on the skid on both
sides of the deck.
d. Mow another section of problematic terrain
and compare the finished job of the deck that
was changed with the job done by the other
mower decks.
e. Repeat the above steps to reach the best
compromise between bounce suppression
and turf damage.
f. Adjust the other mower deck skids to the same level.
g. When finished securely tighten all the mounting nuts.
16f. Greasing.
WARNING! DO NOT OVERGREASE THE ROLLER BEARINGS! Excessive
grease will dislodge the bearing seals and allow dirt and water to enter the
bearing. This will cause early bearing failure.
1. Grease types:
a. Use only lithium-based grease manufactured by a reputable company. Most "multi-purpose"
greases supplied by well-known companies are lithium or lithium complex based and should be
compatible with those used in Trimax products.
b. Greases formulated from bases other than lithium may react or completely break down when
mixed, even in very small quantities. In particular, do not use greases containing graphite.
c. If there are any doubts concerning the composition of any grease being considered for use in this
Trimax product consult your lubricant supplier or purchase a suitable product from a multi -national
company.
d. Cleanliness is essential when working with grease and oil. Clean the grease gun nozzle and each
grease fitting before applying grease.
e. The quantity of grease is described by the number of “pumps” or “shots”. One pump is defined as
the quantity of grease delivered by one pump of a lever-action grease gun, while one shot is that
delivered in one cycle of an air-operated power grease system. One shot is typically equivalent to
four pumps.
2. Grease roller bearings:
a. Lubricate every 8 hours or daily.
b. All but two grease points are located just inside an access hole in the side channels as shown.
c. The roller bearing on the right-hand side of front roller of the rear deck is accessed from above
when the rear deck is in its lowered position
d. The roller bearing on the left-hand side of the front roller on the rear deck is accessed from the rear
of the machine with the rear deck in the raised position.
e. Apply no more than 2 pumps of multi-purpose grease to each point.
