Good maintenance is essential if you want to work efficiently without unexpected surprises during the season. To help you prepare, PERFECT \u2013 Van Wamel<\/strong> has created a practical checklist.<\/p>\n

Start the mowing season in a professional way with this maintenance checklist, suitable for all our rotary mowers and flail mowers.<\/p>\n

The Complete Maintenance Checklist for Your Mower<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Review the following six points to keep your machine in top condition:<\/p>\n

1. Cleaning and protective covers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. Gearbox oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A well\u2011lubricated 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.<\/p>\n

3. Blades and mowing components<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Inspect the blades of your rotary mower for sharpness and any damage. Dull or damaged blades reduce capacity and negatively affect mowing quality.<\/p>\n

4. V-belts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

5. Bearings and lubrication<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Check all bearings for play. Lubricate all rotating parts and grease points according to the official PERFECT maintenance guidelines.<\/p>\n

6. PTO shaft and overload clutch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Inspect the PTO shaft and the overload clutch to ensure they function correctly. This protects both your tractor and your mower from peak loads.<\/p>\n

Safety tip: <\/strong>Perform maintenance only when the machine is completely switched off and free of pressure. Always consult the manual of your specific model.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Choose Original PERFECT Parts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Is your machine fully ready after inspection, or do you need new parts? For the best results and longest service life, we always recommend using original PERFECT parts.<\/p>\n

If you want to order parts or need advice, you can contact your local dealer or place an order directly with our parts team.<\/p>\n

Need parts urgently?<\/strong>
\nEmail parts@vanwamel.nl<\/a> or contact your dealer to make sure your machine is ready in time for the first mowing round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
