Cutting Unit Maintenance

Refer to the cutting unit Operator's Manual for
maintenance procedures.

Blade Safety

•
A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break,
and a piece could be thrown toward you or
bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
•
Inspect the cutting units periodically for excessive
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 machines with multiple cutting units, take care
when rotating a reel; it can cause the reels in the
other cutting units to rotate.

Cleaning

Washing the Machine

Wash the machine as needed using water alone
or with a mild detergent. You may use a rag when
washing the machine.
Important:
Do not use brackish or reclaimed
water to clean the machine.
Important:
Do not use power-washing equipment
to wash the machine. Power-washing equipment
may damage the electrical system, loosen
important decals, or wash away necessary grease
at friction points. Avoid excessive use of water
near the control panel, engine, and battery.
Important:
Do not wash the machine with the
engine running. Washing the machine with the
engine running may result in internal engine
damage.
