Check Reel-To-Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-
bedknife contact, regardless of whether the quality
of cut has been acceptable. There must be light
contact across the full length of the reel and
bedknife.
Check Wheel Nut Torque
WARNING
Tighten the wheel nuts to 61-75 Nm after 1–4
hours of operation and again after 10 hours of
operation and every 250 hours thereafter. Failure
to maintain correct torque could result in failure or
loss of a wheel, which may result in personal
injury.
