Blade Sharpening (Figure 7)

NOTICE

When sharpening blades, grind the same amount on each blade to maintain balance. Replace blades in pairs. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration, which can damage gearbox bearings. Vibration may also cause struc- tural cracks to cutter.

1.Sharpen both blades at the same time to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern.

2.Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge—leave at least a 1/16" blunt edge.

3.Do not sharpen back side of blade.

Follow Original Pattern

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT (Figure 8)

The slip clutch is designed to slip so that the gearbox and driveline are protected if the cutter strikes an obstruction.

A new slip clutch or one that has been in storage over the winter may seize. Before operating the cutter, make sure it will slip by performing the following operation:

1.Turn off tractor engine and remove key.

2.Tighten four nuts (12) to remove pressure from the clutch plates (2). Repeat for all three clutches.

3.Start tractor at low throttle and slowly engage PTO and allow clutches to slip for 5 seconds. Disengage PTO and turn off tractor engine.

4.If clutches slip freely, completely loosen nuts (12).

5.If clutch does not slip freely, disassemble and clean plates (4, 6, 7), flange yoke (1), and clutch hub (3).

6.Reassemble clutch.

7.Tighten Belleville spring (5) with nuts (11) until it is against the thrust plate (4) of the clutch. Back off each of the four nuts (11) until gap between Belleville spring and thrust plate is .180 or 3/16” as shown in Figure 8.

8.If a clutch continues to slip when the spring is compressed to .180 or 3/16” gap, check friction discs (2) for excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" when new. Replace discs after 1/16" wear. Minimum disc thickness is 1/16".

NOTE: When storing cutter for long periods of time, relieve the pressure on the clutch discs by tightening the four nuts (12) on each clutch. Completely loosen nuts (12) to return to service.
