The cutter head is designed with automatic breakaway
arms that release when unit makes contact with
immovable objects or irregular terrain. Arms must be
reset to “home position” after each breakaway before
cutting operations can resume. See
“Breakaway Instructions”
on page 44. For additional
information on performance enhancing options, see
“Section 10: Features & Benefits”
on page 70 and
“Section 9: Specifications & Capacities” on page 68.
When you are done cutting, need to take a break, or just
need to make a few adjustments to the cutter, remember
to always do the following:
•
Reduce tractor’s engine rpm and disengage power
take-off.
•
Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 45.
It requires patience, practice, and attention to detail to
become an expert operator of your Land Pride Parallel
Arm Rotary Cutter. The end result is well worth the effort.
General Operating Instructions
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the
Operator’s Manual, complete the Operator’s Checklist,
properly attach the cutter to your tractor, make leveling
adjustments and preset cutting height before beginning a
running operational safety check on your Land Pride
RCP(M)2760 or RCP(M)3760 Rotary Cutter.
It’s now time to do a running operational safety check. If
any time during this safety check you detect a
malfunction in either the cutter or tractor, immediately
shut the tractor off, and make necessary repairs and/or
adjustments before continuing on.
Upon arriving at the work site, shut-off tractor, set brakes,
remove ignition key, and dismount to preform the
following checks:
•
Remove and safely stow loose end of transport safety
chain in the jack stand tube.
•
Verify that the driveline is approximately level. Adjust
height of the lower 3-point arms if driveline is not level.
•
Visually inspect cutter blades. Make certain they are
not overlapped and locked together.
•
Inspect the area where you will be cutting and clear it of
safety hazards and foreign objects. Never assume the
area is clear. Cut only in areas which you are familiar
with and are free of foreign objects. Extremely tall
grass should be cut twice to detect potential hazards.
In the event you do strike an object, stop the cutter and
tractor immediately to inspect and make necessary
repairs to the cutter before resuming operation.
After performing the above checks, return to the tractor
and start the engine. Extend cutter’s parallel arms out
and position the deck flat on the ground. Adjust cylinder
height of the parallel arm and cutting deck for good
visibility and unobstructed performance. Set engine rpm
at idle or slightly above and engage power take-off. Initial
start-up vibration is normal and should smooth out after a
few revolutions of the cutter blades unless the blades are
locked. Shut off power take-off, fully raise the deck and
inspect the blades if the deck continues to vibrate.
Otherwise, increase tractor throttle power take-off speed
to 540 rpm for RCP2760 and RCP3760 series cutters and
1000 rpm for RCPM2760 and RCPM3760 series cutters.
Proceed forward at a mowing speed that is comfortable
and will produce a quality, controlled cut for ground
conditions and material density.
