MAINTENANCE
Chain Guards
Inspect the chain guards for any missing chains
or cables. Replace any missing chains by
undoing the retaining cable clamp. Slide the
cable back and insert new 5/16” chain through
the slot. Slide the cable back through the chains
and re-fasten the cable clamp. Missing chains
may allow debris to be thrown out from under the
mower. See Image Mnt-R-0235.
Winch & Cable
(If Equipped)
The winch should be checked weekly. The cable
should be replaced at the first sign of fraying or
wire breakage. Check to see that the winch
functions properly. It should make a “clicking”
sound when the cable is being wound up. There
should be a resistance when releasing the cable.
You should not be able to unwind the winch by
pulling on the cable. If the winch does not
function properly, replace it. If the winch failed
during use, one of the wings could drop
suddenly. See Image Mnt-R-0236.
