SET UP/ MAINTENANCE
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent injury, wear appropriate eye protection and
stand clear when cutting banding. Banding is under
tension and may snap back when cut.
1. Remove crate and sides.
Remove the banding attaching the sod cutter to
the pallet.
2. Roll the sod cutter off the pallet.
3. Dispose of crating, and banding in a responsible
manner.
4. Check the engine oil level, add if necessary and
fill the fuel tank with fresh clean unleaded regular
gasoline.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To keep the sod cutter in good operating condition,
perform the following:
• Keep blade sharp; a sharp blade cuts cleaner,
faster and more uniformly and places less load
on the machine. Sharpen cutting edge on bevel
or top side only.
• Keep drive belt at proper tension and free of oil
and dirt at all times.
• Check engine oil level and air filter element daily.
• Check for loose bolts and connections.
• All grease fittings are pressurized type. Use a
good grade Lithium Base Grease or equivalent.
Grease eccentric arms sparingly every 4 hours
of service, all others daily. Wipe off all grease
fittings before and after each greasing (there
are a total of 8 grease fittings).
• Check and adjust chain tension on the front drive
wheels is tight, you will need to remove the
chain guard. If tightening is required, loosen
nuts and bolts on the 3/4" pillow block bearings
and push the bearings toward the back of the
sod cutter until chain is tight. Make sure both
bearings go back evenly to keep jackshaft run-
ning even with the frame. Lubricate the chain
on the inner circumference, the side facing
the sprocket, with a light oil such as SAE20 or
SAE30. An oiling can or spray can with a straw
for application is recommended
and bolts on the bearing and replace the chain
guard.
• Engine (refer to manufacturer's owner's manual).
