Cutter Set-up For Transporting

Refer to Figure 2-1& Figure 2-2:

IMPORTANT: Always disengage the tractor’s PTO before raising the cutter wings to transport position. Drivelines and gearboxes can be damaged if the wings are raised while PTO is turning.

NOTE: The wings are controlled with two hydraulic lift cylinders. Be certain that the wing hydraulics are attached to the tractor and the hydraulic hoses are full of oil before proceeding.

If the cutter wings are down, they will need to be raised before transporting on a road and/or through narrow openings.

1.Disengage tractor PTO and wait for the cutter blades to come to a complete stop before raising the wings.

2.Raise the cutter wings fully up with the hydraulics.

3.Place tractor gear selector in park, shut tractor engine off, set park brake, remove switch key and dismount from tractor.

4.See Figure 2-2.Remove hairpin clip (#1) from storage pin (#2).

5.Rotate end of transport lock bar (#3) to cylinder pin (#4) as shown in Figure 2-1.Secure with hairpin clip (#1).
