LM282 / LM319 Features Specifications
LM282 / LM319 Features
• The LM282 and LM319 employ an oil hydraulic-type full-time 4WD system.
• Vertical shafts are employed at the traction points to reduce shaking.
LM282 Features
• The LM282 is lighter than other riding-type 5-reel mowers and it uses broad, low-pressure
tires to reduce damage to the grass.
• The mower lock lever (manually operated) enables the following.
• The raising and lowering times for mower units #4 and #5 can be reduced if the mower
units are raised or lowered when the mower lock lever is down. This is ideal for moving
around the golf course.
• When mower units #4 and #5 are stored in their raised positions, applying the mower
lock lever prevents them from falling.
• When the mower lock has been applied to mower units #4 and/or #5, the mower can
be set to triple mowing or to quadruple mowing on the left and right, for example,
enabling you to adjust the mowing width to suit the conditions.

: Do not start the mower until the following steps have been performed.
Caution
: Allow the engine to cool before beginning the inspection.
The radiator cap is pressurized. Removing the radiator cap while
the engine is still hot could result in the release of high-temperature
steam, causing burns. Once the water temperature and pressure
have fallen, remove the radiator cap by wrapping a thick cloth or
other suitable material around it and then turning it slowly to the
left.
Warning
• Level the engine and then use a dipstick to
check the quantity of oil.
If the dipstick indicates the quantity of oil
is between the upper and lower limits,
there is sufficient oil.
• If there is insufficient oil, add oil. If the oil is
dirty, replace it. (The oil quantity must not
exceed the upper limit. Do not add too
much oil.)
• Use engine oil of the CD class of the SAE
viscosity API service classification.

: When adjusting the blades, stop the engine on a flat surface and
apply the side brake.
Caution
1) Set the reel motor's reel rotate/stop lever
to the (STOP) position.
2) To adjust the reel cutter and bed knife, move
the cutter adjustment nut so that the blade
edges make uniform contact, then adjust so
that the blades can cut two newspaper
pages.
The blade contact pressure increases when
the cutter adjustment nut is loosened and
becomes less when tightened.
3)If the blades still do not cut after adjustment,
perform lapping on the blades.
4) As the reel cutter becomes smaller
through wear, the spring tension becomes
weaker. Loosen the threaded pipe for
cutter adjustment and adjust the spring
tension.

blade to locate those sections that do not
cut well.
2) Start the engine, and run it at a low idling
speed.
3) Push the reel rotation lever toward the
rear to start the reel cutter spinning in the
opposite direction.
4) Apply polishing agent with a brush to
those locations that cut newspaper well.
(Do not apply the polishing agent to those
locations that do not cut paper well.)
The polishing agent should be a mixture
of lapping power (#150 to #200) and oil,
mixed in a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio.
5) Rotate the blades for a while, and when
the sound of blades makes contact stops,
stop the rotation and then the engine.
6) Check the entire width of the reel
cutter blade to locate those sections
that do not cut well.
7) Repeat the above process until both
the reel cutter and bed knife mesh
completely.
8) Finally, apply polishing agent to the
entire reel cutter, and perform the
finishing lapping.
9) Stop the engine, and use steam or
some other method to complete
remove any remaining polishing
agent.
