Check Reel To Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife contact,
regardless if quality of cut had previously been acceptable.
There must be light contact across the full length of the reel
and bedknife (refer to Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in
Cutting Unit Operator's Manual).

Check Torque Of Wheel Nuts

Warning
Torque wheel nuts to 45-65 ft–lb after 1-4 hours of
operation and again after 10 hours of operation
and every 200 hours thereafter. Failure to maintain
proper torque could result in failure or loss of
wheel and may result in personal injury.
