Wing Deck Leveling
Each wing section will need adjusting if wing top is not level with center deck top when wings
are unfolded.
1. With tractor hydraulics, lower wings down. Pull cutter straight forward six to ten feet to allow
outer wing wheels to properly align themselves.
2. Check wing tops to see if they are level with the top of the center deck. If the outer edge of
either wing top is higher or lower than the center deck, then that wing should be leveled as
follows:
• A
. If outer wing edge is higher than the center deck, loosen jam nut & rotate turnbuckle (#8)
counterclockwise to lower outer wing edge until wing is level. Tighten jam nut to the correct
torque when level.
• B
. If outer wing edge is lower than the center deck, loosen jam nut and rotate turnbuckle (#8)
clockwise to raise outer wing edge until wing is level. Tighten jam nut to the correct torque
when level.
Assembly Information
Transport Locks
IMPORTANT:
Always disengage tractor’s PTO & wait for blades to come to a complete stop
before raising cutter wings to transport position. Wing drivelines, wing gearboxes, and splitter
gearbox can be damaged if driveline is turning.
Cutter wings will need to be raised before transporting on a roadway, through narrow gate open-
ings and when servicing the deck underside.
•
Disengage tractor PTO and wait for cutter blades to come to a complete stop before raising
wings.
•
Remove hairpin clip from storage pin, Rotate end of transport lock bar to transport pin. Secure
with hairpin.
•
Repeat for the other wing. Your cutter is now ready for transporting.
WARNING:
Always raise wings and set transport locks before transporting from one work site
to another and before traveling on public roadways. The wings can fall if not secured with trans-
port locks causing a serious injury or death.
DANGER:
Do not raise one or both wings up with PTO engaged or drivelines rotating. Objects
can be thrown by rotating blades. Always keep people away from a cutter that is operating.
DANGER
Do not operate cutter without both wings attached. Removing one wing will expose
blades and increase risk of rollover. Removing both wings will expose blades on both sides. Ex-
posed blades can result in serious injury and/or death.
