Draining Water from the Fuel
Filter/Water Separator
Any water accumulation should be drained from the fuel
filter/water separator before each use or when the warning
light glows.
1. Position the machine on a level surface and stop the
engine.
2. Place a drain pan under the fuel filter.
3. Open the drain plug on the fuel filter/water separator
approximately one turn and drain any accumulated
water. If necessary, operate the priming pump to drain
the water (Fig. 28). Tighten the plug after draining.
4. Start the engine and make sure the warning light goes
out. Check for leaks.
Note: Because the accumulated water will be mixed with
diesel fuel, drain the fuel filter into a suitable container and
dispose of it properly.

Checking the Tire Pressure

The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release
some of the air to reduce the pressure. The correct air
pressure is:
Front tires: 8–12 psi
Rear tire: 8–15 psi

Checking the Reel-to-Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut had
previously been acceptable. There must be light contact
across the full length of the reel and bedknife; refer to
Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in the Cutting Unit
Operator's Manual).
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Torque the wheel nuts to 70–90 ft.-lb. after 1–4 hours of
operation and again after 10 hours of operation. Torque
them every 200 hours thereafter.
Warning
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel nuts to 70–90 ft.-lb. after 1–4
hours of operation and again after 10 hours of
operation. Torque every 200 hours thereafter.
