GB-20
4.19 CARE AND CLEANING _____________________________________________________
Wash the tractor and implements after each use. Keep the
equipment clean.
Note: Do
not wash any portion of the equipment while it is
hot. Do not use high pressure spray or steam. Use cold
water and automotive cleaners.
1.
Use compressed air to clean engine and radiator fins. A
special blow gun is available through Textron Turf Care
and Spedialty Products dealers.
2.
Do not spray water directly at the instrument panel,
ignition switch, controller or any other electrical
components, or at bearing housings and seals.
3.
Clean all plastic or rubber trim with a mild soap
solution or use commercially available vinyl/rubber
cleaners.
Repair damaged metal surfaces and use Textron Turf Care
and Spedialty Products touch-up paint. Wax the equipment
for maximum paint protection.
4.20 INSPECTING BLADES______________________________________________________
1.
Every 50 hours of operation or whenever mower is
removed from tractor, carefully examine the blades to
make sure they are in good operating condition.
Blades showing any bends
(G)
, grooves
(H)
or cracks
(
J)
must be replaced.
2.
Any of the above conditions can cause a piece of
the blade to break away and be hurled from the
mower; causing very serious injury to bystanders or
property damage.
3.
A bent blade could have a microscopic crack (G)
that can grow and allow a piece of the blade to
break. Bent blades will also create vibration and
other stress on the machinery.
4.
Dust or sand particles can wear a dangerous groove
in the blade (H) between the air vanes and the flat
portion of the blade that will rapidly grow and
produce a crack (J), permitting a piece of the vane
to break off.
