General
IMPORTANT: Check oil level in all gearboxes before operation. Refer to the ‘Lubrication’ section of this manual for
recommended oil type and viscosity.
Lubricate all grease fittings. Refer to the grease schedule in this manual. Check that all nuts and bolts are in place
and properly tightened. Refer to the ‘Maintenance’ section of this manual for required bolt grades and torques.
Check that all tires are inflated to proper specifications. Refer to the ‘Maintenance’ section of this manual for
required tire pressures.
Connection to Tractor
Wind the jack to raise the hitch clevis to line up with the tractor drawbar. A screw driver may be inserted into the
hole in the side of the swivel hitch to keep the hitch clevis level while connecting to the tractor drawbar. See
“Connection to Tractor - Equal Angle Hitch” for instructions to attach the equal angle hitch the tractor.
WARNING! NEVER STAND BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND THE ROTARY CUTTER WHILE THE TRACTOR
IS BEING BACKED TO THE HITCH
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the remote outlets on the tractor. Adjust the hoses in the hose organizer to allow
sufficient slack for turning. Ensure the hoses will not contact the driveline or can become pinched.
The wing lift cylinders should be cycled several times to remove air from the system. The S150/S100 requires
single acting remote outlet for each wing and one single remote outlet for the center section.
Connect the universal joint assembly to the tractor
PTO. Align the quick disconnect yoke splines with the
tractor PTO splines. Compress the lock collar spring
and slide the yoke into place. Release the spring to
lock onto the PTO shaft.
IMPORTANT: Pull and push on the quick disconnect
yoke several times to ensure that the yoke is connected
to the PTO shaft.
Driveline Attachment
Pivot the divider gearbox shield back, and out of the way. Remove any tape from the gearbox shafts, and any
booklets from the driveline. Slide the clamp collar end of the tractor shaft onto the gearbox shaft. Insert the
tapered pin/ bolt into the yoke. Push the yoke until the groove of the shaft lines up with the hole, and the pin
extends through. Tighten the locknut to squeeze the yoke onto the shaft.
IMPORTANT: Adjust tractor drawbar length so distance
from end of PTO shaft to pin hole on drawbar is as follows:
540 RPM PTO - 1-3/8" 6 Spline: L= 14" [356 mm]
1000 RPM PTO - 1-3/8" 21 Spline: L = 16" [406 mm]
1000 RPM PTO - 1-3/4" 20 Spline: L= 20" [508 mm]
