Before Operating

Checking the Lubricant in the
Gear Box
The gear box is designed to operate on SAE 80–90 wt. gear
lube. Although the gear box is shipped with lubricant from
the factory, check the level before operating the cutting
unit.
1. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick/fill plug from the top of the gear
box (Fig. 16) and make sure that the lubricant is
between the marks on the dipstick. If the lubricant level
is low, add enough lubricant until the level is between
the marks.
