Assembly Instructions
1. Raise the hitch arms (#1) and the hitch supports (#4) from the deck. Remove the bolt holding on
the top link (#12). Line up the end holes on the hitch supports with the holes on the outside of
the hitch arms where you just removed the bolt. Bolt the hitch arms, hitch supports and top link
together with the bolt you just removed using two flat washers and a lock nut.
2. Connect the PTO shaft to the gearbox. A snap ring holds on the PTO shaft with a shear pin.
Make sure the PTO guard (#19) is bolted in place.
3. Re-check all the fasteners. There should be free movement of all pieces held together by a bolt
and lock nut.
Chain Kit Assembly Instructions
All cutters have the required holes for mounting the chain kit. The use of this chain kit will help
reduce the possibility of injury to persons or property by stopping many thrown objects.
1. Bolt the front chain holder (#8) to the front of the cutter using 3/8" x 1" (10 x 25 mm) hex bolts,
lock washers, flat washers and hex nuts.
2. Use 1/4" (6 mm) x 5 link chains (#2) at the front. A chain is pushed through each slot from
underneath and a 3/8" (10 mm) rod is threaded through the top link of each chain. Hold rods in
place using the cotter pins supplied. See parts list for correct length of rods.
3. Bolt the rear center (#5) and rear side (#6 & #7) chain holders to the rear of the cutter. Use
1/4" (6 mm) x 5 link chains (#2) along all rear edges. Thread rods as in front using lengths as
shown in parts list.
