(80.08 m/sec.} @ 3300 engine RPM. ' Cutter Blades: Three heat treated steel blades, each 3/16 in. (4.8 mm} thick and 18 in. (457 mm} long. Castor Wheels: 8 in. (203 mm) dia. with grease able rosier bearings. Unit Drive System: PTO driven gear box transmits power through a "AA” section belt to all blade spindles.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL CARRIER FRAME Note: Grease castor wheel shaft with No. 2 grease after installing and after initial operation of machine. 1. Remove Lynch Pins and two thrust washers from each castor wheel assembly. Leave two thrust washers on each shaft, insert shafts into frame, install thrust washers and Lynch pins (Fig. 1} Figure 1 7. Castor wheel assembly 2 frame 3. Thrust washers 4. Lynch pin 2. Slide carrier frame onto lift arms aligning mounting holes.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS 4. Install clevis pins through desired height-of-cut bracket holes and frame to secure cutting unit to frame {Fig. 5). Secure all four pins with hairpins.

Make final counterbalance adjustments under actual cutting conditions; refer to Tension Spring Adjustment, page 10.
BEFORE OPERATING W Figure 15 1. Niter lag 2. Check pig OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TENSION SPRING ADJUSTMENT For best performance, adjust spring tension so cutting unit bounce on uneven turf is minima and it does not ride heavily over fairly flat terrain. lf scalping occurs or the cut is uneven from side to side, there may be too much weight on the deck and weight may have to be transferred to the traction unit; i.e., increased spring tension.
LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE GREASE BEARINGS, BUSHINGS AND GEAR BOX The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly, If machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate castor bearings and bushings with No. 2 general purpose lithium grease or molybdenum base grease, after every 8 hours of operation or daily, whichever comes first. All other bearings, bushings and the gear box must be lubricated after every 50 hours of operation. 1.
CUTTING UNIT MAINTENANCE A DANGER Do not start the engine and engage the SEPARATING CUTTING UNIT FROM TRACTION UNIT 1. Position machine on level surface. Raise cutting unit, engage parking brake, be sure traction pedalos in neutral position and PTO lever is in OFF position. Shut engine off and remove key from switch A CAUTION Counterbalance springs are in tension when deck is in lowered position. Always raise deck before adjusting or removing springs. 2.
CUTTING UNIT MAINTENANCE operation, the bushings will wear. To check the bushings, move castor fork back and forth and from side-to-side. i castor spindle is loose inside the bushings, bushings are worn and must be replaced. 1. Raise cutting unit and block it so it cannot fall accidentally. 2. Remove lynch pin and thrust washers from top of castor spindle. 3. Ult castor spindle out of mounting tube. Allow thrust washers to remain on bottom of spindle. 4.
CUTTING UNIT MAINTENANCE Block cutting unit to prevent it from falling accidentally. 2. Rotate blade until the ends face forward and backward (Fig. 23). Measure from inside of cutting unit to cutting edge at front of blade (Fig. 23}, and remember this dimension. Figure 23 3. Rotate opposite end of blade forward, Measure between the cutting unit and cutting edge of blade at the same position as in step 2. The difference between dimensions obtained in steps 2 and 3 must not exceed 1/8 inch {3 mm}.
CUTTING UNIT MAINTENANCE FLAT PART @ OF BLADE SAIL = wear @ BALK, SLOT FORMED Figure 25 SHARPEN AY SAH ORIGINAL ANGLE END VIEW OF BLADE Figure 26 3. Inspect cutting edges of all blades. Sharpen the cutting edges if they are dull or nicked. Sharpen only the top side of the cutting edge and maintain the original cutting angle to make sure of sharpness {Fig. 2B). The blade will remain balanced if same amount of metal is removed from both cutting edges.
CUTTING UNIT MAINTENANCE 8. Compare measurements at various positions. All dimensions must be equal within 1/4in. (6 one another. The difference between dimensions must not exceed 174 in. (6 mm). i difference exceeds 1/4 in. (6 mm), add shims between spindle housing and bottom of cutting unit, step 9, and/or move thrust washers on castor shafts, step 10. 9. Remove cap screws, flat washers, lock washers and nuts from outer spindle in the area where shims must be added.
CUTTING UNIT MAINTENANCE REPLACING DRIVE BELT The blade drive belt, pensioned by the adjustable idler, is very durable. However, after many hours of use, the bat will show signs of wear. Signs of a worn belt are: squealing when belt is rotating, blades slipping when cutting grass, frayed edges, burn marks and cracks. Replace the belt if any of these conditions are evident. 1. Lower cutting unit to the floor, engage parking brake, be sure traction pedal is in neutral and PTO lever is in OFF position.
IDENTIFICATION AND ORDERING MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS The cutting unit has two identification numbers: a model number and a serial number. These numbers sre stamped into a plate. The cutting unit identification plate is located just behind the right castor wheel {Fig. 34} In any correspondence concerning the cutting unit, supply the model and serial numbers to assure correct information and replacement parts are obtained.
