1. Inspect the blade bolts for nicks or gouges and, if found, replace the damaged blade bolt(s).
2. Insert blade bolt through the blade. Blade should swivel on blade bolt; if it doesn’t, determine the cause
and correct.
3. Align crossbar with blade access hole in cutter frame. Apply a liberal coating of an anti-seize product to
the blade bolt and crossbar hole. Make sure blade offset is away from cutter. Push blade bolt through
crossbar.
4. Insert lock washer and nut through blade access hole in the cutter deck. Install on blade bolt and
tighten to 450 ft-lbs using a 1-11/16˝ socket.
Blade Sharpening
■
Closely inspect blades for cracks or nicks. If damage is found, replace blades in pairs.
■
When sharpening blades, grind the same amount on each blade to maintain balance. Replace blades in
pairs. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration, which can damage gearbox bearings.
1. Sharpen both blades at the same time to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern.
2. Do no sharpen blade to a razor edge: leave at least a 1/16˝ blunt edge.
3. Do not sharpen back side of blade.
SLIP-CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The slip-clutch (if equipped) is designed to slip so that the gearbox and the driveline are protected if the cutter
blades strike an obstruction.
A new slip clutch or one that has been in storage over the winter may seize, rendering the shaft and gearbox
completely unprotected. Before operating the cutter, make sure it will slip by performing the following
operation:
1. Turn off tractor and remove key.
2. Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can rotate freely, yet remain secure on the bolts.
3. Make in-line marks on the outer plates of the slip-clutch.
4. Securely attach cutter to the tractor and start the tractor.
5. Engage the PTO for several seconds then quickly disengage it.
6. Turn tractor off and remove key.
7. The friction plates should have “slipped.” If the marks made previously are no longer in-line with each
other, this is the case.
8. If the clutch does not slip, check assembly for oil, grease, and debris.
9. Reassemble clutch and tighten bolts no more than 1/8 of a turn at a time until the desired setting of
1.15˝ spring length is reached.
10. If excessive slippage continues, check lining plates for excessive wear. The slip plates are 1/8˝ thick
when new; they should be replaced after 1/32˝ of wear to ensure proper operation.
