Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Hydraulic Outlets
The number of tractor hydraulic duplex outlets is
dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up.
•
Two duplex outlets are required if the wings are folded
up and down simultaneously. (Factory standard)
•
Three duplex outlets are required if the wings are
folded up and down independently.
•
Float position is highly recommended for the wings.
If the tractor does not have the necessary number of
duplex outlets, there are control valve kits available to
for a complete description of the kits.
Before You Start
Read and understand the operator’s manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and setup of your cutter.
It is best to go through the
before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly
task and make the job safer by having all needed parts
and equipment readily at hand.
Torque Requirements
See
“Torque Values Chart”
page 64 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
at bottom of chart for exceptions to
common torque values.
Assembly Checklist
Check
Reference
Have a fork lift or loader with properly sized chains and safety
stands capable of lifting and supporting the equipment on hand.
Have a minimum of two people available during assembly.
Make certain all major components and loose
parts are shipped with the machine.
Operator’s
Manual
Double check to make sure all parts, fasteners,
and pins are installed in the correct location.
Refer to the Parts Manual if unsure. By double
checking, you will lessen the chance of using a
bolt incorrectly that may be needed later.
NOTE:
All assembled hardware from the
factory has been installed in the correct
location. Remember location of a part or
fastener if removed during assembly. Keep
parts separated.
Operator’s
Manual
330-323M
Parts Manual

are tight & cotter pins are spread.
Operator’s
Manual
Make certain all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated.
Make certain all safety labels are correctly
located and legible. Replace if damaged.
Make certain all red and amber reflectors are
correctly located and visible when machine is
in transport position.
Make sure all tires are inflated to the specified
psi air pressure and all wheel bolts and axle
nuts are tightened to the specified torque.

DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death: Do not use a power take-off
adapter. The adapter will increase strain on the tractor’s
power take-off shaft causing possible damage to shaft and
driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the tractor’s power
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a tractor that is too small or too large. Small
tractors can be pushed around and flipped over. Large
tractors can damage the attached implement.
•
Power take-off damage may occur if distances “A” and
“B” are not properly maintained.
Maintain proper distance, dimension “A”, between center
of drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor power take-off
shaft.
