6.Adjust inner nuts in or out until the rear of the cutter is approximately 1/2" higher than the front. (See Attitude Rod Adjustment, page 16.)

7.Raise cutter, remove jackstands and check deck height. Tighten jam nuts against sleeve.

Cutting Height (Normal Mowing) - Wings

1.Lower wings to normal mowing position.

2.Loosen the jam nut on the adjustable link (turn buckle).

3.Lengthening the link will raise the wing, shortening the link will lower the wing. The rear edge of the wing should be parallel to the ground.

4.Make sure jam nuts are tightened once wing is leveled.

When using the cutter to shred, the rear of the cutter deck should be approximately 1/2" to 1" lower than the front.

NOTE: Equal Angle Drive Only: With the cutting height established, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the H-frame to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the ground with cutter in cutting position.

Use the following chart as a starting point for adjusting the attitude rod, based on different tongue height and wheel options.

TRACTOR OPERATION

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Use care when operating around tree limbs and other low objects. Avoid being knocked off tractor and being injured.

The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the PTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on the cutter drive system. Increase throttle to recommended PTO operating RPM.

Be sure operator is familiar with all controls and can stop tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency. The operator should give complete, undivided attention to operating tractor and cutter.

CUTTER OPERATION

When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that all persons are in a safe location.

Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540 (1000 RPM for "Q" models).

Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency.

Engage PTO at a low engine rpm to minimize stress on the drive system and gearbox. Raise PTO speed to 540 or 1000 RPM depending on model and maintain throughout cutting operation.

Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with a replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to slip when excessive torsional loads occur.

Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor engine.

Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.

Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the material’s height, type, and density.

Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall, dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin, medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground speed.

Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down some grass and prevent cutting at the same height as the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce your ground speed but maintain PTO at 540 or 1000 RPM. The lower ground speed will permit grass to rebound partially.
