Clutch Run-In
Refer to Figure 5-4:
The clutch should slip during operation to protect the cut-
ter from excessive loads.
Prior to initial operation and after long periods of inactivity,
the Friction Clutch should be "run-in".
1.
Tighten all 4 nuts uniformly until the spring load is low
enough that the clutch slips freely with the PTO en-
gaged.
2.
Turn nuts fully back. Clutch is ready for use.
Storage
At the end of the working season or when the cutter will not
be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off
any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the cut-
ter and any of the moving parts.
1.
Clean the Rotary Cutter as necessary.
2.
Check the blades for wear and replace if necessary.
3.
Inspect the cutter for loose, damaged or worn parts
and adjust or replace as needed.
4.
Lubricate as noted in "Lubrication", below.
5.
Store the Rotary Cutter inside if possible for longer
Rotary Cutter life.
6.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to pre-
vent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride
Beige touch-up paint #821-011C.
