Side to Side Leveling

WARNING

A minimum20% of a tractor and cutter weight must be on tractor front wheel with attachment in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in

1 ) Your cutter should be levelfrom side to side. With the cutter and tractor on level ground, use the tractor's link arm crank to adjust the lower link arm up or down as needed to level your cutter.

Front to Rear Leveling

1 )Using the tractor's three point lift, position the cutter at the desired cuttin'g height.

PN-808078(Rev 0 11 0 4 )

1 3

2) Adjust the top link in or out so that the front of the cutter is about 1" lowerthanthe rear. At this slight angle, the cutter does not require as much power. Fuel efficiency and cutter performance are thereby improved.

TRANSPORI'ING
1) Disengage PT0 and allow al1 moving parts to completely stop. 2) Lift cutter to fully raised position.

3) Check the tailwheel to see that it contacts the ground. If it does not, lower the bolt to next hole in adjustment bracket to lower tailwheel as needed to meet the ground.
4) If the tailwheel is too low causing too much front to rear tilt, adjust the tailwheel up by moving bolt in adjustment bracket up to next hole. Readjust the top link to properly position deck with slight forward tilt.

3) Transport at speeds compatible with safety and no more than 20 MPH. 4) Use care when transporting on rough terrain.
5) When 'traveling on public roads, always

have a slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem mounted to the tractor such that it is visible from the rear.
6) Avoid travel on public roads at night.

Driveline Interference Check 1) Start the tractor engine and slowly lift cutter until the driveline is at its shortest position. At this point, the two shafts should lack two inches from touching.
2) Now lower the cutter until the driveline is extended to its longest position. At this point, the two shafts should engage at least six inches.

Comply with al1 local and state laws governing lighting requirements in addition to SMV emblem. MAINTENANCE

3) Be sure the driveline clears the cutter deck when the cutter is raised. Raise the cutter while observingthe clearance between front of deck and driveline shield. Stop when clearance is at 1.OU' Adjust tractor 3 point quadrant upper stop now. Lower and raise cutter to ensure clearance.

Do not perform any maintenance while tractor is running or when cutter is in motion.

Gearbox 1) Check oil level in gearbox every 8 hours of operation. Fil1to side level port using only SAE 90EP gear oil. 2) Check mount bolts before each use to be sure they are tight. Shearbolt Replacement 4 ' , 5' & 6' Models On cutters with a shearbolt driveline, replace broken shearbolts with a grade 2 shearbolt and locknut. Replacement of a broken shearbolt with a bolt higher than grade 2 may cause serious damage to the cutter. Use of a bolt higher than grade 2 as a shearboit in the driveline voids the manufacturer warranty.

SLIP CLUTCH SPRING ADJUSTMENT

u
Blade Inspection and Replacement lnspect blades before each use. Remove blades to sharpen. Always sharpen blades at the same time to rnaintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern. Do not sharpen blade to razor edge. Leave from a 1/16 to 118" blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade. Replace blades in pairs if blades are damaged. To replace blades, follow the steps below: 1) Support cutter from below on al1 sides. DO NOT rely on tractoi's hydraulic lift alone to support cutter. Be sure cutter is stable before proceeding.
2) Remove each blade nut and lockwasher through the hole in the cutter deck behind gearbox.

2) With tractor at idle speed, engage PT0 for 2--3 seconds. Clutch should slip without turning blades. If not, contact your dealer.
3) Retighten nuts to compress springs according to diagram. Dim "A" = 1.16" for Bondioli clutches & Dim "A" = 1.28" for Comer clutches.

Failure to retighten nuts may cause damage to cutter andlor tractor due to improper slip clutch torque setting.

Adjustment: 'The slip clutch is designed to slip when blades encounter heavy brush or solid permanent objects. If this is not occurring or clutch slips too much (Le. smoke appears around clutch), adjustment should be made as follows:

1) Check to be sure that al1 springs are compressed to the correct length. Adjust spring length by tightening or loosening retaining nut.
2) If clutch still performs improperly, tighten or loosen al1 nuts in 1/32" increments until clutch performs properly.
3) If excessive adjustment is necessary,

3) Using a punch, drive the blade bolts out of the blade holder.
4) Insert blade bolts in new blades so that flare in blade tip is up. Insert bolt with blade ont0 blade holder by aligning notch in hole with shoulder on bolt. 5) Replace lockwashers and nuts on bolts and tighten.Torque to 650 ft Ibs.
