Assembly Preparation

Having all the parts and equipment readily at hand will speed up your assembly task and make the job as safe as possible.

Prepare the area where the unit is to be assembled making sure the area is swept clean of all dust and contaminants. Un-package the crate and remove all contents carefully so that the seals on hydraulic components are not broken or pulled off.

NOTE: Remove heavy components from crate with a hoist or block-and-tackle.

Raise the mainframe with a forklift, hoist or block-and-tackle and place on pallets or blocks so it is elevated about 10” off the floor.

Your cutter bar will already be assembled. It is necessary to check the direction of rotation of each cutter plate. Figure 1-1 shows the proper cutter bar plate rotation. If adjustments need to be made, refer to “Cutter Bar Timing Adjustment” on page 19.

It is also necessary to check whether the plate turning right has right cutter blades and the plate turning left has left cutter blades.

Cutter Bar and Gearbox Lubrication

The cutter bar should arrive with oil already added. After assembly you may want to check to make sure. For instructions on how to do this see Lubrication in “Section 4 Maintenance and Lubrication” on page 18 and “Section 5 Specifications and Capacities” on page 23.

Before operating this unit add SAE 80 GL4 (EP) oil to gearbox. For further instructions see Lubrication in “Section 4 Maintenance and Lubrication” on page 18 and “Section 5 Specifications and Capacities” on page 23.
