Assembly Preparation

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

Prepare Disc Mower assembly area by removing other equipment and then sweeping it clean of dust and contaminants. Un-pack crate and remove all contents. Be careful not to break hydraulic seals or pull off hydraulic components.

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

Raise 3-point 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 is shipped assembled and must be checked for correct cutter plate arrangement. Figure 1-1 indicates correct cutter plate arrangement for different mower sizes. Refer to “Cutter Bar Timing Adjustment” on page 22 to make adjustments to cutterplates.

Also shown in Figure 1-1 is a rotation arrow on each cutter plate indicating direction of cutter plate rotation. The cutting edge of the cutter blades should lead in the direction of cutter plate rotation. This direction alternates from one cutter plate to the next. Make certain all cutting blades have been mounted correctly. Remove any blades installed incorrectly and reinstall them in the correct cutting direction. Refer to “Blade Replacement” on page 21 for instructions on how to install blades.

Gearbox and Cutter Bar Lubrication

The gearbox and cutter bar should arrive filled with SAE 90 GL4 (EP) gear lube. However, you should check oil level in both before using and add oil if necessary.

IMPORTANT: The recommended quantity of cutter bar oil should not be exceeded. Results of overfilling will be overheating with potential for severe damage to the cutterbar.
