4. Bolt the welded end of the level control rod (966526/906122) to the front tongue as shown
on drawing using a 5/8" x 2-1/2" hex bolt and lock nut. The control rod clevis (966525/902341)
must be adjusted so the cutter will sit level with the ground when it is pinned to the swivel
assembly.
NOTE: Be sure to use the top bracket on the swivel assembly (966584/966146) when
the wheels are trailing behind the cutter as shown in drawing.
5. Mount the slip clutch PTO shaft on the cutter. The clutch must be engaged so it will slip when
you hit a hard object as per operating instructions. After engaging the clutch, bolt on the PTO
guard (966502/966102) using 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.
6. An optional jack (960327) is available to lift the tongue when mounting the cutter a tractor.
7. Recheck and tighten all bolts. Only pieces held by a bolt and lock nut should have free
movement.
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 (966586/966147) to the front of the cutter using 1/2" x 1" hex bolts,
lock washers and hex nuts.
2. Use 1/4" x 6 link chains (966591) at the front. A chain is pushed through each slot from
underneath and a 3/8" 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 (966588/966149) and rear side (966593/966594) chain holder to the rear of
the cutter. Use 1/4" x 5 link chains (966596) along all rear edges. Thread rods as in front using
lengths as shown in parts list.
NOTE: Washers are used to hold an extra chain at both ends of
the rear center rod and at the inside end only of the rear side rods. These extra chains close the
gap left at the corners where the chain holders meet.
