RCP(M)2760 & RCP(M)3760 Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter 316-548M

Gauge Wheels (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-18:
The deck with gauge wheels is shipped from the factory
completely assembled to the parallel arm with the
exception of installing the rear ratchet jack and one
gauge wheel.
Ratchet Jack Installation
1. Check 5/8" hex flange lock nuts securing bolts (#3).
They should be drawn up snug, not tight.
A-frame (#2) should pivot freely on the two bolts.
2. Cut ties securing A-frame (#2) and rotate frame back
to position it behind the deck as shown.
NOTE:
Installation of gauge wheel and ratchet jack
is easier after the deck has been lowered. Therefore,
it is best to install them just before making
on page 30 for Tractor
Control or just before making
on page 35 for
Solenoid and Independent Control.
3. Attach ratchet jack (#8) to the cutter deck with 1" dia.
clevis pins (#6). Secure clevis pins with hairpin
cotters (#5).
4. Insert long handle (#8) in the rear ratchet jack and
short handle in the front ratchet jack. Secure handles
with cotter pins. Bend cotter pin legs to keep pins
from falling out.
Gauge Wheel Installation
1. Install 1 1/4" I.D. machine washer (#4) over yoke
spindle (#1) as shown.
2. Insert yoke spindle (#1) into the front support frame.
3. Install second 1 1/4" I.D. machine washer (#4) over
yoke spindle (#1).
4. Secure yoke spindle to frame with 5/16" dia. roll
pin (#7).
NOTE:
After deck cutting height is set, it is
recommended that the ratchet jack handles be
removed and stored with the tractor and cutter to
protect the deck finish.
