1.
After attaching cutter to the tractor, carefully raise and
lower the unit to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and
other equipment on the tractor do not contact cutter
frame or driveline.
2. Remove and stow transport safety chain before
extending the arms or lowering the deck.
3. Adjust tractor lower 3-point arms such that driveline
is approximately level.
4. If control stick is included, read and fully understand
“Control Stick Functional Checks”
5. Extend parallel arms and deck cylinder as follows:
Deck without gauge wheels:
a. Starting with “ARM 1”, extend parallel arms
switching back-and-forth from “ARM 1” to “ARM
2” until both arms are positioned as needed.
b. Extend “Deck Pivot” cylinder until deck is parallel
to the ground.
c. Adjust deck and parallel arms to locate cutter for
best operator visibility. Normally, this is with arms
extended out approximately 3/4 of full extension.
Deck with gauge wheels:
a. Make certain tractor control levers are set to
center detent position and if available, Float
Switch on the control stick is “OFF”.
b. Starting with “ARM 1”, extend parallel arms
switching back-and-forth from “ARM 1” to “ARM 2”
until both arms are positioned as needed.
c. Extend “Deck Pivot” cylinder until deck is resting
on its gauge wheels.
d. Switch “ARM 2” and “Deck Pivot” cylinders to float
position.
•
Independent & solenoid Control:
Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”.
•
Place “ARM 2” and “Deck Pivot” control levers in
float position.
e. Adjust ratchet jacks to raise or lower deck to
desired cutting height. See also
f. Adjust “ARM 1” to locate cutter for best operator
visibility. Normally, this is with arms extended out
approximately 3/4 of full extension.
IMPORTANT:
Your cutter is equipped with free
6. Set tractor throttle to idle or slightly above idle and
slowly engage power take-off. Start-up vibration is
normal and should stop after a few revolutions of the
blade carrier. Stop power take-off rotation if vibration
continues. Wait for all components to come to a
complete stop and then dismount from tractor to
check for probable causes such as blades locked
together.
7.
Once cutter is running smoothly, increase power
take-off speed to cutter rated speed. Stop power
take-off immediately if vibration occurs during
operation. Wait for the power take-off to come to a
complete stop and then dismount from the tractor to
check for probable causes.
8. Optimum ground speed will depend on density of
material being cut, terrain, and operator skill. If in
doubt, change gears to reduce tractor ground speed
to a comfortable level.
