Lely Splendimo 165 L / 205 L / 205 HD / 240 L / 280 L / 320 L disc mowers service schedule

1. Stop the PTO and engine, take the key out and wait until the discs have stopped.
2. Fold the cutterbar up and drain through the drain plugs on the side of the gearbox.
3. Lower the cutterbar onto level ground.
4. Fill part A (round section) with 0.4 L, to the rim of the lower drain/fill hole.
5. Fill part B (straight section) with 0.4 L, to halfway between the dipstick marks.
6. Check the gearbox for leaks at each service.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanners, Funnel

1. Stop the PTO and engine, take the key out and wait until the discs have stopped.
2. Take off the mower disc, then the bearing housing, keeping its shims with it. Refit each housing to its own element.
3. Scrape out the old grease. Do not use solvent: it attacks the seals and washes out bearing grease.
4. Weigh in 95 g of NLGI 0 grease.
5. Refit the bearing housing (screws with Loctite 243 at 39 Nm) and line its hub up with the next element.
6. Check the O-ring is in the pressure piece, refit the disc and tighten the castellated nut to at least 150 Nm, then on to the next split pin hole (up to 250 Nm). The pin must not stick up above the pressure piece.

Tools: Torque wrench (to 250 Nm), Scales, Spatula (no solvent)

1. Lower the mower, stop the PTO and engine, take the key out and wait until the discs have stopped.
2. Check the knives, discs and wear plates for wear and damage.
3. Knives have two edges: turn a worn one over to use the other edge.
4. Change knives in pairs on a disc. Looking in the direction of rotation, the front of the cutting edge must face down.
5. Replace worn or damaged bolts and nuts, and always use new self-locking nuts.
6. Tighten to 50–60 Nm.

Tools: Torque wrench (to 60 Nm), Spanners, Gloves

1. Stop the PTO and engine, take the key out and wait until the discs have stopped.
2. Grease the PTO shaft and its profile tubes, the yoke locking pins and the gearbox pivot bearings. Fold the cutterbar up a few times and grease again.
3. Grease or oil all other pivots and put a few drops of oil on the breakback cams.
4. Check the PTO shaft slides freely.
5. Check the breakback spring pretension is 160 mm (320 L: rubber block at 95 mm).
6. Check each V-belt deflects about 10 mm under 70 N.
7. Check the bearing plate bolts at 330 Nm, and all other bolts, especially those holding the skids and wear plates.
8. Check the gearbox for leaks.

Tools: Grease gun, Oil can, Torque wrench, Spring balance or rule
