Firstremove the split pin, select the correct size socket in 3/4” drive and fullytighten the nut. When replacing the split pin, do not slacken the nut toalign the hole, always tighten. Failure to regularly check this nut willresult in serious wear to hub, which is expensive to repair.• It is most important that all gearbox bolts are regularly checked tobe very tight. When the machine is new there will be a ‘beddingin’ period where very frequent checking is important.BladesCaution!
