Hooking-up the Rotary Cutter
!
DANGER
A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a
tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and
implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate
hydraulic 3-Point lift controls while someone is directly
behind tractor or near implement.
Prepare cutter as follows:
1. Be sure transport safety chain is hooked to the deck.
See Figure 1-9 on page 17.
2. Position cutter on a flat level concrete surface.
Refer to Figure 1-3:
3. There are three hitch categories represented in
Figure 1-3. Determine which category fits the tractor
being used and arrange cutter hitch pins as shown
for that category.
Refer to Figure 1-4:
4. Slowly back tractor up to the Rotary Cutter while
using tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic controls to align
lower hitch link holes with clevis holes on the cutter.
5. Place tractor gear selector in park and/or set brakes,
shut engine off, and remove ignition key.
6. Aligned and positioned tractor’s lower hitch holes in
the clevises. Attach the lower arms to the clevises
with hitch pins and secure with linch pins.
7. Adjust top center link in or out to align center link hole
with the cutter’s center hitch pin hole. Connect top
center link to cutter hitch pin hole using customer
supplied clevis pin and linch pin.
8. Make certain the lower 3-Point arms are stabilized to
prevent excessive side movement.
9. Return to tractor and slowly raise tractor 3-Point hitch
about 1 to 2 inches. Stow jack stands in the raised
position.
10. Slowly operate tractor's 3-Point arms up and down to
check clearance between cutter components and
tractor components. Move or remove tractor drawbar
if it interferes with cutter.
11. Adjust tractor's lower arms to level cutter frame from
left to right.
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic fluid must be added to the
cutter hydraulic reservoir before operating the pump.
Otherwise, the hydraulic pump will be damaged.
NOTE: Driveline installation instructions will follow
after hooking-up cutter to a tractor. This is because
the distance between tractor PTO shaft and speed
increaser input shaft can vary from tractor to tractor.
