                              IMPORTANT 
To maintain the efficient and reliable operation of your 
Kesmac Mower it is important that the checks and 
maintenance in the following schedule are carried out. 
It is recommended that this be done at the end of the 
mowing season, before storage, and also before the 
start of a new season. 
 
Carry out all of the previously recommended service and 
maintenance schedules. 
 
Also check the following : 
 

•  Jackshaft Couplings. That the Keys are in place 

and the Coupling Bolts are tight. 

•  All Sheaves and Bushings are tight and Keys 

are in place.

( See page 10 ). 

•  Lift Chains for stretch, wear or damage.

•  Apply light oil to the Reel Blades and the Bed-

knife cutting edges to prevent rust. 

•  Main Wheels Bearings. Refer to pages 34 and 

35 for Main Wheel and Outrigger Wheel Axle 
service details. 

 
 
                            IMPORTANT 
It is important to keep the Mower clean and well    
maintained. If using a pressure washer do not direct the 
high pressure water directly at Bearing Seals, water 
forced into the bearing  will result in bearing failure.
