Install driveline halves together. Reconnect driveline to tractor. Raise and lower cutter after applying grease to spread over joint working area. WARNING! FIGURE 5 When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that the spring-activated locking twist collar rotates freely and locking ball are seated on the groove on PTO shaft. A loose yoke could slip off and result in personal injury or damage to cutter. BLADE SPINDLE LUBRICATION Blade spindles must be lubricated daily (every 8 hrs). Access lubrication fitting through hole in outer sheilds and in center gearbox mounting. Each spindle has vent hole in top just under drive pulley and must be lubricated enough each time to force small amount of grease out. NOTE: Do not over lube as excess grease may get on belt drive.

Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening. Use only original equipment blades on this cutter. They are made of special heat-treated alloy steel. Substitute blades may not meet specification and may fail in a hazardous manner that could cause injury. BLADE SHARPENING Always sharpen both cutting edges of each blade at the same time, the same amount, to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern as shown. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge, but leave a 1/32" blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade. Figure 6. Avoid personal injury. Always block the cutter up to prevent it from falling when the blades and/ WARNING! or carrier are being serviced. FOLLOW ORIGINAL PATTERN MAINTAIN CORNER 1/32" FIGURE 6 NOTE: Always check blades for balance after sharpening. Grind heavy end to obtain proper balance. BLADE REMOVAL Hold the end of blade using heavy leather gloves and remove left hand threaded bolt. BLADE INSTALLATION Install washer on blade bolt, insert bolt into blade, insert seal protector washer over blade bolt and then thread bolt into spindle shaft. NOTE: Blade bolt has left hand threads. Tighten blade bolt to 70 ft. lbs. torque. Use heavy leather gloves during tightening process to hold blade and wrench. Breeze 08-01 Maintenance Section 5-5 R 9-05-00 © 2004 Alamo Group Inc.

MAINTENANCE STORAGE Your rotary mower represents an investment from which you should get the greatest possible benefit. Therefore, when the season is over, the cutter should be thoroughly checked and prepared for storage so that a minimum amount of work will be required to put it back into operation for the next season. The following are suggested storage procedures: 1. Thoroughly clean the cutter. 2. Lubricate the cutter as covered in Maintenance Section. 3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque. 4. Check the cutter for worn or damaged parts. Make replacements immediately. 5. Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the cutter housing resting on blocks. 6. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the cutter. PROPER TORQUE FOR FASTENERS The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are assigned in manual text. NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine oil. They do not apply if special graphited or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
