Operation 13
MAN1246 (04/10/2018)
OPERATION
The designed and tested safety of this machine depends on it being operated
within the limitations as explained in this manual. Be familiar with and follow all
safety rules in the manual, on the cutter and on the tractor.
The safe operation of this cutter is the responsibility of the operator, who must
be properly trained. The operator should be familiar with the equipment and all
safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety information on
page 5 through page 9.
Recommended tractor ground speed for most conditions is from .6 - 3.7 km/h
(1 - 6 mph).
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm on BW15.50E, BW15.60E, BW15.70E,
BW10.50E, BW10.60E, and BW10.70E; on BW15.50QE, BW15.60QE,
BW15.70QE, BW10.50QE, BW10.60QE, and BW10.70QE operate PTO at
1,000 rpm.
 Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operat-
ing in reverse.
 Full chain shielding must be installed at all times. Thrown objects
could injure people or damage property.
• If the machine is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation
must be stopped.
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92m).
■ Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
■
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching,
removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.
■ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is
seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.
■ Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an
obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage
before resuming operation.
■
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head. Wear a respirator
or filter mask where appropriate.
■ Stay away from the machinery during a thunderstorm. Do not operate
machine during a thunderstorm. If lightning from a thunderstorm strikes during
operation, remain in the tractor cab. Do not make contact with the ground of
objects outside the machine. Do not leave the cab until the storm has passed.
CONNECTING CUTTER TO TRACTOR
NOTICE
■ For tractors with a 35 mm diameter PTO shaft, the horizontal dis-
tance from the end of the tractor PTO shaft to the centre of drawbar pin
should be 356 mm for 540 rpm cutter and 406 mm for the 1000 rpm cut-
ters. This will minimize joint knock and damage to drive components.
Use of the CV Lift Assist System
The Batwing® cutter has a system to help lift and support the driveline while
connecting and disconnecting it from the tractor. Follow the instructions below.
1. Remove klik pin.
2. Lift lever to vertical position which will lift driveline.
3. Connect coupler to tractor PTO shaft.
4. Lower lever and secure with klik pin.
If the driveline is held too high or low, the roller carriage can be adjusted by
removing the mounting bolts, moving it to the preferred position, and replacing
the bolts.
NOTICE
If the tractor used to power the Batwing® has a PTO shaft and drawbar
closer than the current standards, the driveline could contact the lift
assist frame or roller during use and could cause damage and failure to
the driveline. When using a tractor of this type, the CV lift assist system
should be removed from the tongue to avoid potential contact and dam-
age.

Cutter to Tractor Connection
Mechanical Connection
1. Remove unauthorized tow device by unlocking and removing specific
device.
2. Attach cutter using appropriate towing eye hardware.
3. Attach safety tow chain (25) to drawbar support. Leave enough slack for
turning.
4. Connect cutter driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the spring-
activated lock pin slides freely and is seated in tractor PTO splined
groove.
5. Attach driveline shield tether chain to tractor drawbar to prevent rotation,
if desired.
NOTE: CV driveline does not require a tether chain.
6. Loosen bolts in jack mount. Adjust jack so foot plate sits flat for storage.
Tighten bolts.
7. Remove parking jack (16) from the tongue and attach it to the storage
post on the front of the left wing.
Hydraulic Connection
1. Inspect hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in good condition.
2. Clean the fittings before connecting them to the tractor hydraulic ports.
3. Route the hose through the hose holder at the hitch and be sure the hose
can slide freely in the holder. Do not allow hose slack to drag on the
ground or become caught on tractor protrusions.
4. Attach the hydraulic hose to the tractor.
5. Raise unit with centre lift cylinder and extend wing cylinders. Stop tractor
and remove transport lock pins from wing stops and transport stop as
shown in Figure 2 & Figure 3, page 15.
6. From the operator position, start tractor and raise and lower deck several
times to purge trapped air from the hydraulic cylinder.
Interference Check
1. Be sure that tractor 3-point lift links do not interfere with hydraulic hoses,
cutter driveline, or cutter frame.
2. Check for straight-ahead operation and at full turning angles. If there is
any interference, remove the lower lift links.
3. Contact between tractor lift links and cutter parts can cause damage,
especially when turning.
CV Driveline Turning Limits
NOTICE
■ You must not exceed a turning angle of 80 degrees at the head of
the Constant Velocity driveline or damage will occur.
NOTE: Remove CV drive shipping bracket before operation and discard.
This bracket is only supplied on factory assembled units with a CV drive
installed.
1. To check for potential excessive turn angle, disconnect the driveline from
tractor.
2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.
3. Shut engine off and try to connect CV driveline to tractor. If it cannot be
connected, the turn angle is too severe.
4. Restart engine and straighten angle slightly, shut off engine and try to
connect CV driveline to tractor.
5. Repeat the process until the driveline can be connected. The point at
which the driveline can be connected is the maximum turn that should be
made.
Cutting Height Adjustment
NOTICE
■ Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking ground with blades pro-
duces one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If
this occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gearboxes will be dam-
aged.
