Important Safety Information
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲ Slow moving tractors, self-
propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
whendriven on publicroads.They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
▲ Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
wheneverdriving on public roads.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED.Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrain require a
slower speed.
▲ Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with brakes.
▲ Use the following maximum
speed - tow load weight ratios as
a guideline:
20 mph when weight is less
than or equal to the weight of
tractor.
10 mph when weight is double
the weight of tractor.
▲ IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the
weight of tractor.
Use A Safety Chain
▲ A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor
drawbar.
▲ Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the towed
machinery.
▲ Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other
specified anchor location. Allow
only enough slack in the chain
to permit turning.
▲ Do not use safety chain for
towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before doing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean dry area.
▲ Lower the implement to the ground,
put tractor in park, turn off engine,
and remove key before performing
maintenance.
▲ Allow implement to cool completely.
▲ Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
▲ Remove build-up of grease, oil or
debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused parts
from implement before operation.

equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose fitting clothing.
▲ Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause hearing impairment or
hearing loss. Wear suitable
hearing protection such as
earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Operating equipment safely
requires the full attention of the
operator. Avoid wearing radio
headphones while operating
machinery.
Avoid High
Pressure Fluids Hazard
▲ Escaping fluidunder pressure can
penetrate the skin causing
serious injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting
hydrauliclines or performing work
on the system.
▲ Make sure all hydraulic fluid
connections are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying
pressure to the system.
▲ Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, see a
doctor immediately. Any fluid
injected into the skin must be
treated within a few hours or
gangrene may result.
Keep Riders
Off Machinery
▲ Riders obstruct the operator’s
view, they could be struck by
foreign objects or thrown from the
machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate
equipment.
Use Seat Belt and ROPS
▲ Operate only tractors equipped
with Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and seat belt.
▲ Fasten seat belt snugly and
securely to help protect operator
from being thrown, crushed, or
severely injured if a rollover
occurs; and from falling off the
tractor and being ran over by the
tractorand/or cutter. Not using the
seat belt can result in serious
injury or death.
▲ Wearing protective equipment
such as safety shoes, safety
glasses, hard hat, and ear plugs
is highly recommended.
Tire Safety
▲ Tire changing can be dangerous
and should be preformed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to
one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.

category 2 or 3 three point, semi-mount, or pull type
attachmentwith thelifttype requiring 60 hp- 120hp input
and the pull type or semi-mount requiring 50 hp - 120 hp
input.
Heavy-duty stump jumpers, main driveline clutches, and

Pull-Type Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-1:
Distances between center of drawbar hitch pin hole to
end of tractor PTO shaft (“A” dimension) and from top of
drawbar hitch to center of PTO shaft (“B” dimension)
must be maintained when using the Pull-type hitches.
• “A” = 14" for 540 rpm

IMPORTANT: PTO damage may occur if distances
“A” and “B” are not properly maintained.
3-Point Hitch
The lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be
stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most
tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this
purpose. Category of hitch is dependent upon the series
of cutter being used.
• RCR3596 & RCRM3596 (Category l or ll hitch)
• RCR35510 & RCRM2510 (Category ll or lll hitch)
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 Rotar y Cutter has been partially assembled at the
factory. However, some assembly will be necessar y 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.
Pre-Assembly Checklist
Check Reference
Location of fasteners and pins.
NOTE: All hardware from the factory has
been installed in the location where it will
be used. If a part is temporarily removed
forassembly reasons, remember where it
goes. Keep parts separated.
Be sure parts get used in the correct
location. By double checking while you
assemble, you will lessen the chance of
using a bolt incorrectly that may be
needed later.
All grease fittings are in place and
lubricated.

Hitch Assembly
NOTE: Do not tighten hardware to the correct
torque until assembly is complete.
Refer to Figure 1-4 for RCR(M)3596 hitch assembly
and Figure 1-5 for RCR(M)3510 hitch assembly:
1. Assemble tongue (#1) to the deck using hitch pins
(#2), spacer tubes (#3) and linch pins (#4).
2. Attachlevelrod assemblies(#8) totongue (#1) using
clevis pins (#5), flat washers (#6) and cotter pins
(#7).Make sure levelrod adjusting nutsare threaded
the same distance on both rods. This will ensure a
level unit.
3. Rotate hose holder (#9) up 90 degrees and tighten
hardware that is securing hose holder bracket.
4. Route hydraulic hose through loop of hose
holder (#9).
5. Remove parking jack (#10) from its storage position

Equal Angle Driveline Installation
Refer to Figure 1-6:
Equal angle drivelines can beinstalled on RCR3510 and
RCRM3510. Maximum turning angle is limited to 35
degrees.
1. Attach bear ing support assembly(#1) to tongue (#2)
with two bushings (#3), two flat washers (#4),
bolt (#5), lock washer (#6), and nut (#7).
2. Securely attach slip-clutch end of jackshaft (#8) to
gearboxinput shaft(#9). Makecer tain the slip-clutch
is fully on the input shaft splines. Torque conical dog
pin to 45-50 ft-lbs.
IMPORTANT: Make sure bearing locking collar is
facing toward the cutter gearbox.
3. Insert driveline jackshaft (#8) through the bearing
support assembly (#1). Pull the bearing support
assembly fully against the jackshaft to extend the
jackshaft splines through the bear ing and out the
other side as far as possible.
4. Install main driveline (#10) to jackshaft (#8) by
pulling on the collar and pushing the yoke forwardto
engagethe grooveon thejackshaft splined stub until
the collar has locked in place. Make certain the
locking collar has engaged by pulling on the main
driveline.
5. Tighten the set screw in the bearing locking
