At Least Twice Daily
Rotor Bar Assembly, Blades, Blade Bolts, and Nuts
·
Make sure rotor bar assembly is securely attached with castle nut and cotter pin to the
output shaft. There should be no bearing play when rocking the blade bar.
·
Always make sure to replace the blades in sets.
NOTE: When mowing at low cutting heights or on uneven terrain, the blades can come in
contact with the ground frequently. When this happens, the blade tips can be pushed upwards
causing the blade to bend. By pushing upwards on the blade tip, the rear of the blade (at the
bolt hole) is forced downward away from the rotor bar assembly. This causes the bolt to be
pulled through the bar and can cause it to shear. When the bolt shears, it will throw a blade.
When operating in these conditions, the operator must check the blade bolts more frequently
than normal, at least four times a day.
Always use genuine Bush-Whacker replacement blades, bolts, and nuts. Other blades may not
meet Hall Manufacturing specifications and could lead to serious injury or death.
Daily
Shields
·
Make sure ALL shields are in place and tightened before operating the mower. If one
works loose, stop mowing and tighten immediately.
·
Replace shields if there is any damage or excessive wear.
Hydraulics
·
Inspect the Hydraulic Shields, making sure that they are installed and working properly. If
shields become damaged or loose during operation, stop immediately and fix or replace
them.
·
Inspect output shaft for vines, wire, rope, etc. that may collect around the shaft and tear up
the output seal. If a seal is leaking, replace it, or risk overheating and severe damage to the
hydraulic motor.
·
Check the mounting bolts and nuts to be sure that they are correctly secured. If left
unchecked, it could cause excessive vibrating which could damage the equipment.
·
Check the hydraulic hoses for damage and tightness. If a hose is leaking, replace it, or
damage to the hydraulic system on the mower and the skid-steer could occur.
·
Hydraulic flow manifold has no serviceable parts. If hydraulic problems occur, contact
Bush-Whacker for replacement parts.
