Checking the Hydraulic
Lines and Hoses
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration.
Make all necessary repairs before operating.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Ensure that all hydraulic fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into skin.
Cutting Unit System
Maintenance

Cutting Unit Safety

A worn or damaged cutting unit can break, and a
piece of a reel or bedknife could be thrown at you
or bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
•
Inspect the cutting units periodically for wear or
damage.
•
Use care when checking the cutting units. Wrap
the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the reels and bedknives. Only replace or
sharpen the reels and bedknives; never straighten
or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1
reel can cause other blades to rotate.
Backlapping the Cutting
Units
DANGER
Contacting the reels may cause personal
injury or death.
• Never place your hands or feet in the reel
area while the engine is running.
• While backlapping, the reels may stall and
then start again.
• Do not attempt to start reels again with
your hand or foot.
• Do not adjust the reels while the engine is
running.
• If the reel stalls, shut off the engine before
attempting to clear the reel.
1. Park the machine on a clean and level surface,
lower the cutting units, shut off the engine,
engage the parking brake, and remove the key
from the ignition switch.
2. Remove the console cover to expose the
controls.
3. Rotate the backlap control to the backlap
position (R). Rotate the reel speed control to
position 1 (Figure
