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
Assembly Checklist
before
assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly task and
make the job safer by having all needed parts and
equipment readily at hand.
IMPORTANT:
A power take-off adapter should not
be used. Using an adapter can damage the power
