2. Look into sight glass (Fig. 7). Oil level should be even
with arrows when checking warm oil. Oil will be 1/4 to
1/2 inch below arrows when cold.
3. If oil level is low, add hydraulic oil to the reservoir.

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 Cutting Units in Cutting
Unit Manual, Step #1 – Reel to Bedknife Adjustment).

Check Tire Pressure

For normal mowing conditions and a wide variety of turf
grasses, use these tire pressures: 13 psi front and 15 psi
rear. However, when turf is either wetter or drier than
normal, tire pressure may need to be changed. On hard
turf, use high tire pressure (18 psi front and rear). When
turf is soft, use low pressure (9 psi front and 12 psi rear).
Important
Maintain even pressure in two front tires (ie.
13 psi) and both rear tires (ie 15 psi) to assure excellent
quality–of–cut. Do not exceed 10 mph transport speed (for
extended periods) when tire pressure is 12 psi or less
because tires may be damaged. Maximum transport speed
can be used when front tire pressure is 13 psi or more.

Rear Ballast

This unit complies with the ANSI B71.4–1990 Standard
when rear tires are filled with calcium chloride and a rear
wheel weight kit (Part No. 11–0440) is installed.
Important If a puncture occurs in a tire with calcium
chloride, remove unit from turf area as quickly as possible.
To prevent possible damage to turf, immediately soak
affected area with water.
