DAILY CHECKLIST
■ ■
Check that cutter is properly and securely attached
to tractor.
■ ■
During inspection, check that all nuts and bolts are
secure and that all safety shields are in place.
■ ■
It is very important that the blade carrier nut and
blade bolts are checked and tightened frequently.

Check condition of blades and security of attach-
ment.

Check that PTO driveline shields are securely
locked and clears the front of the cutter frame.
■ ■
Adjust the tractor top link so the front of the cutter is
slightly above the rear. Then raise the tractor lift very
slowly, making sure that the front drive shaft shield
does not hit the front of the cutter. If it does, damage
will be done to the drive shaft shield and, if it hits
hard enough, it will also damage the drive shaft
itself. (See page 20.)
NOTE: This type of damage is not covered
under warranty, as it is totally under the control
and the responsibility of the operator.
