6. Connection to Cutter
Remove the hitch clevis from the hitch swivel on the
cutter if equipped. Insert the 3/4" bolts into the castor
wheels to lock in place.
3/4" Bolt
To align the precision hitch, board the tractor and start
the engine. Back the tractor and FLEX-ARM to the
cutter until arm hitch tongue is close enough to the
cutter swivel. Then use the Flex Arm to extend the
precision hitch tongue towards the cutter hitch swivel
about a foot. Turn off the tractor engine, place the
tractor in park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting. Dismount and view to see how far is
needed to go. Keep extending the flex arm in foot
increments or as much length needed until holes are
aligned. Once the cutter is connected remove the
stabilizer bolts from the castor wheels to free the
castor wheels. The stabilizer bolts are to be removed
at all times except when backing the flex arm to
connect the cutter. Castor wheels should not be left in
the lock position after the cutter is attached, the
stabilizer bolts are not transport pins, bodily injury or
damage to the implement can result if left in.
Remove any tape from the splined shaft, and any
booklets from the driveline. Install the shaft spacer
(A101-157) onto the splined shaft tight against the
steady bearing collar. Slide the clamp collar end of
the tractor shaft onto the splined shaft and insert the
tapered pin into the yoke. Push the yoke onto the
shaft until the groove lines up with the hole and the pin
extends through. Tighten the locknut to squeeze the
yoke onto the shaft. The protective cone on the steady
bearing may need to by unclipped to access the
locknut.
WARNING!
When attaching the PTO yoke to the Tractor PTO shaft, it is important that the spring
activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the
groove of the PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could
slip off and result in personal injury and damage to the cutter.
