Assembly Information
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the Dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for normal cutting conditions.
The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned
and loosely assembled before tightening hardware.
Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface, such as concrete, will make assembly
much quicker. Open parts and lay out parts and hardware to make location easy. Refer to illus-
trations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.

NOTE:
Due to variations in distances between
tractor PTO shafts and implement input shafts, drive-lines may need to be shortened or
a longer shaft may be required. When fitting the implement to the tractor, the PTO drive-
line, with telescoping sections, must be inspected.
When the sections are at the most compressed operating position, the sections must not “bot-
tom out”. At its shortest length, there must be at least 2” (50.8 mm) of clearance between each
section end and opposite section end at the most compressed operating position. When the
sections are at the most extended position, there must be sufficient engagement between the
sections. At its farthest operating extension, a minimum section engagement of 33% of shaft
length must be maintained. (For direction on how to cut PTO turn to page 11)
•
With cutter hooked to tractor go through the full range of motion lifting cutter up and letting it
down turning tractor to the left and right as sharp as possible and,
Make sure the PTO does
not bottom out or go past the 2” mark.
