WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Stay clear from underneath the cutter and directly behind
transport tires. The cutter could fall suddenly causing the
decks to lower and tires to roll back.
3. Open all stroke control flip spacers (#2) on lift
cylinder (#1).
4. Start tractor and engage blades. See
“Engage
Blades” on page 37 for detailed instructions.
5. Using tractor control lever, adjust cutter to the
desired cutting height and then travel forward for
approximately 20 to 50 feet.
6. Without relieving hydraulics, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting according to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 15.
NOTE:
Make all cutting height adjustments in the
field using height of cut grass/material as a guide.
Do not measure blade height above ground as the
non-operating blade height will be different than the
operating blade height.

IMPORTANT:
Whether engaging or disengaging
stroke control flip spacers, take time to ensure they
are in the fully open or fully closed position. Flip
spacers not in the fully closed or fully open position
can cause damage to the lift cylinder and/or flip
spacers.
7. Measure height of cut grass/material. This
measurement is the cutting height. If this height is
acceptable, continue with step 8. If this height is
unacceptable, repeat steps 4-7 until desired cutting
height is achieved.
8. Count the required number of stroke control flip
spacers to meet desired cutting height.
9. Return to tractor and raise Rotary Cutter up again.
10. Without lowering the cutter, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting according to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 15.
11. With tractor shut off and switch key removed, close
the amount of stroke control flip spacers determined
in step 8.
12. Restart tractor and lower cutter against stroke control
flip spacers.
13. Recheck cutting height using steps 4-7. If needed,
adjust number of stroke control flip spacers until
desired cutting height is achieved.
14. Keep remaining flip spacers in the fully open position.
