CONNECTING CUTTER TO TRACTOR BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

NOTICE

■The horizontal distance between the end of the tractor PTO shaft and the drawbar hitch point should be 14" for 540 rpm cutter. This distance must not vary more than plus or minus (1") or the drive may be damaged when turning.

1.Adjust tractor drawbar to obtain the desired drawbar-to-hitch-point distance.

NOTE: On some tractors, a drawbar kit must be used to obtain the required dimension. Check with your tractor dealer for assistance.

2.Raise cutter tongue to tractor drawbar height with jack provided.

3.Secure cutter to tractor drawbar with a high- strength drawbar pin 3/4" or larger. Retain pin in place during operation.

4.Connect cutter drive line to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the spring-activated lock pin slides freely and is seated in tractor PTO splined groove.

5.Move parking jack the storage position on the tongue.

6.Adjust H-frame bearing height to ensure the front drive line is parallel to the ground. Secure with 5/8 x 5-21/32 clevis pin and 3/16 x 1-1/2 cotter pin.

7.Attach drive shaft shield to bearing housing using two 3/8 x 1 cap screws and 3/8 lock washers.

8.Attach safety tow chain to drawbar support. Leave enough slack for turning.

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.Attach the hydraulic hose from the cutter to the tractor.

4.Route the hose through the hose holder on H- frame 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.

5.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.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut- ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

Cutting height range is from 2" to 13". A hydraulic cylin- der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust- ment.

To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting height (example: 3 inches). Blades are approximately 11.5" below the deck.

Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms, raise or lower the tailwheel and set the center of the deck is 14.5’ above the ground to achieve a 4" cutting height.

Loosen the jam nut on the attitude rod that runs from the tongue to the tailwheel. Adjust rod in or out until rear of deck is approximately 1/2 inch more than front of deck.
