RC3615 (540 RPM) and RCM3615 (1000 RPM) Rotary Cutters   330-502M

Table of Contents

2.

Check driveline for adequate clearance under all 
ranges of cutter height. With driveline shaft attached 
to the tractor, slowly raise and lower cutter to its 
upper and lower limits while observing clearances 
between hitch and driveline. Adjust tractor drawbar 
height and/or length if driveline interferes. See Figure 
1-1 on page 11 
for drawbar dimensions.

3.

Cycle hydraulic system by raising and lowering 
center deck cylinder and wing fold cylinders. It may 
be necessary to purge hydraulic system of trapped 
air if operation is sluggish. 

Purge Hydraulic System

!

DANGER

Never remove or install a folding wing cylinder with cylinder 
rod retracted and wing folded up. The wing is unstable without 
its folding cylinder and can suddenly fall. Also, air trapped in 
a new or repaired cylinder will drop the wing suddenly when 
lowering the wing. Either situation can render the cutter 
inoperable and cause serious bodily injury or death.

!

WARNING

Be sure center and wing decks are lowered to the ground and 
all hydraulic pressure is relieved before disconnecting any 
hydraulic lines or fittings between the Rotary Cutter and 
tractor hydraulic system.

The wing deck lift cylinder may be purged as follows:

1.

With wings lowered to the ground, shut tractor off and 
move the wing hydraulic control lever back and forth 
to relieve hydraulic pressure at the wing cylinders. 

2.

Loosen hydraulic hose fittings slightly at each wing 
cylinder to allow air and fluid to escape.

3.

Restart tractor and slowly activate tractor control 
lever to retract the wing cylinders and to purge 
trapped air from the hydraulic system.

4.

Once air is purged from the hydraulic system for the 
wing cylinders, tighten the hose fittings at each wing 
cylinder.

5.

Repeat steps 1 to 4 above to purge center deck lift 
cylinder. Make sure the cutter skid shoes are resting 
on the ground or the lift cylinder is fully retracted 
against the stroke control spacers and all hydraulic 
pressure is relieved at the lift cylinder before 
loosening the lift cylinder hose fitting. 

Unhook Rotary Cutter

1.

See 

“Long Term Storage” 

on page 38 if parking the 

cutter for long periods and end of season. 

2.

Disengage PTO, park cutter on a level solid hard 
surface. Place tractor gear selector in park or set 
park brake.

Transport Bar, Storage Position

Figure 1-13

Refer to Figure 1-13: 

3.

Wait for blades to come to a complete stop and then 
fold wings up to transport position.

4.

Remove hairpin clips (#1) from storage pins (#2).

Transport Bar, Locked Position

Figure 1-14

Refer to Figure 1-14:

5.

Swing transport lock bars (#3) down and place over
