Maintenance
Using the Kickstand When
Tipping the Cutting Unit
Whenever the cutting unit has to be tipped to expose
the bedknife/reel, prop up the rear of the cutting unit
with the kickstand (supplied with the traction unit) to
make sure that the nuts on the back end of the bedbar
adjusting screws are not resting on the work surface
(Figure
21).

Lubricating the Machine
Regularly lubricate the 6 grease fittings of each cutting
unit
(Figure
22) with No. 2 lithium grease.
There are 2 lubrication points on the front roller, 2 on
the rear roller, and 2 for the reel bearing.
Note:
Lubricating the cutting units immediately
after washing helps purge water out of the
bearings and increases bearing life.
1.
Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2.
Apply grease until clean grease comes out of
the roller seals and the bearing relief valve.
3.
Wipe any excess grease away.

Relief-Grinding the Reel
The reel has a land width of 1.3 to 1.5 mm (0.050 to
0.060 inch) and a 30-degree relief grind.
When the land width gets larger than 3 mm (0.120
inch) wide, do the following:
1.
Apply a 30 degree relief grind on all reel blades
until the land width is 1.3 mm (0.050 inch) wide
