Dealer Preparations

Read and understand the operator’s manual for your cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the assembly and setup of your cutter.

This Rotary Cutter has been partially assembled at the factory. However, some assembly will be necessary to attach the hitch, driveline and guards to the cutter.

It is best to go through the Pre-Assembly Checklist before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly task and make the job safer by having all the needed parts and equipment readily at hand.
