Inspect the gearbox oil level.  A low oil level is a 
warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked 
or its seal is damaged and needs replacement.    
Ensure the gearbox vent is in place and free 
from clogs.  OPS-R-0040_C
Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness 
and excessive wear.  Make sure the mower is 
securely blocked up before crawling beneath.  
Replace damaged, worn and missing blades as 
complete sets to maintain rotary balance during 
operation.    
Ensure carrier hub nut is tightened with the 
cotter pin inserted and spread.  
Ensure the blade carriers are properly timed to 
avoid blade contact during operation.  See 
instructions to properly time blades in the 
Maintenance Section.  OPS-R-0041 _B
Ensure each hydraulic cylinder is installed and 
retained correctly.  Ensure the proper size pins 
are used to retain the cylinders in place and 
are secured with pins.  
Check for hydraulic oil leaks on the cylinders, 
along the hydraulic lines, and at tractor 
hydraulic ports.IMPORTANT:  DO NOT use 
your hands to check for oil leaks.  Use a piece 
of heavy paper or cardboard to check for 
hydraulic oil leaks.  OPS-R-0013_H
