Planetary Drive End Play (OPH−2 series planetary drives)
A front planetary wheel drive assembly that is properly
operating should have no endplay. Any endplay in a
planetary assembly indicates that there are potential
problems with the planetary. Check planetary endplay at
intervals specified in your Operator's Manual.
Endplay Checking Procedure
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine and remove key from the ignition switch.
CAUTION
When changing attachments, tires or perform-
ing other service, use correct jacks, hoists and
jack stands to raise and support machine. See
Jacking Instructions in Chapter 1 − Safety for
additional information and precautions.
2. Chock rear wheels, raise front of machine, and sup-
port machine with appropriate jack stands (see Jacking
Instructions in Chapter 1 − Safety).
