Good maintenance is essential if you want to work efficiently without unexpected surprises during the season. To help you prepare, PERFECT – Van Wamel has created a practical checklist.
Start the mowing season in a professional way with this maintenance checklist, suitable for all our rotary mowers and flail mowers.
The Complete Maintenance Checklist for Your Mower
Review the following six points to keep your machine in top condition:
1. Cleaning and protective covers
Always start with a clean machine. Also check whether all protective covers are in good condition and securely fastened to ensure a safe working environment.
2. Gearbox oil
A well‑lubricated gearbox is the heart of your machine. Check the oil level and the recommended oil change interval. Replace the oil if necessary, following the manual of your specific model.
3. Blades and mowing components
Inspect the blades of your rotary mower for sharpness and any damage. Dull or damaged blades reduce capacity and negatively affect mowing quality.
4. V-belts
Check the V-belts for correct tension and inspect them for signs of wear or fine cracks. Timely replacement prevents unexpected downtime in the field.
5. Bearings and lubrication
Check all bearings for play. Lubricate all rotating parts and grease points according to the official PERFECT maintenance guidelines.
6. PTO shaft and overload clutch
Inspect the PTO shaft and the overload clutch to ensure they function correctly. This protects both your tractor and your mower from peak loads.
Safety tip: Perform maintenance only when the machine is completely switched off and free of pressure. Always consult the manual of your specific model.
