Checking Reel to Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife contact,
regardless if quality of cut had previously been acceptable.
There must be light contact across the full length of the reel
and bedknife (refer to Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in
Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual).
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel nuts to 75–80 ft.-lb. after 1–4
hours of operation and again after 10 hours of
operation. Torque every 250 hours thereafter.
