2. Safety

2.1 General

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling the equipment.

Most work-related accidents are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. As you assemble, operate, or maintain the rotary cutter (unit), you must be alert to potential hazards. You should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or maintenance procedures.

Improper operation and maintenance of this unit could result in a dangerous situation that could cause injury or death.

If you have any questions not answered in this manual or require additional copies or the manual is damaged, please contact your dealer or:

2.5 Training

Anyone who will be using and/or maintaining the rotary cutter must read, clearly understand, and follow ALL safety, operation, and maintenance information presented in this manual, other related OEM manuals, and the safety signs

Hearing Loss

Prolonged Exposure To Loud Noise May

Cause Permanent Hearing Loss! Working environments with noise-producing equipment can cause partial to permanent hearing loss. We recommend using hearing protection any time noise levels exceed 80 decibels (dB). Noise levels over 85 dB, on a long-term basis, can cause severe hearing loss. Noise levels over 90 dB over a period of time can cause permanent and even total hearing loss.

Hearing loss from loud noise is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

Crush Hazard

The tractor should be equipped with a

Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt. A crushing hazard can occur if the driver is ejected from the seat while the tractor is in motion. Fasten the seat belt whenever the tractor is moving.

If you do not understand any information in this manual, see your dealer or contact Titan Implement before proceeding.

Do not use or allow anyone else to use this rotary cutter until all information has been reviewed. Annually review this manual before the season start-up.

Make periodic reviews of SAFETY and OPERATION of the rotary cutter a standard practice. An untrained operator is not qualiﬁ ed to use this rotary cutter.

3. Push the driveline onto the tractor PTO shaft until

the locking pin engages.

To remove:

1. Depress the locking pin on the tractor end of the

driveline.

2. Slide the driveline oﬀ the tractor PTO shaft.

Page 30

5.4 Checking the Driveline Length

Before operating the rotary cutter, make sure the driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious damage to the tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it oﬀ . A broken driveline can cause personal injury.

1. Attach the rotary cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch. Do not attach the driveline. Keep the driveline out of the way of moving parts.

7. Hold driveline sections parallel to each other and check for minimum 6” overlap. If driveline has been marked for cutting, overlap will be the distance between two marks. If driveline has less than minimum overlap, do not use. Contact your Titan Implement dealer.

Note: If driveline is the correct length, omit the

following Steps 8 - 9 and proceed to Step 10.

8. Clamp a driveline section in a well padded vice to prevent damage to the shield. Cut oﬀ the shield where marked. Using the cut oﬀ section of the shield as a guide, cut the shaft the same amount. Repeat for the other driveline section.

2. Raise and lower the rotary cutter to determine the maximum and minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If the distance is too small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the rotary cutter or tractor.

There must be at least six inches of engagement at the rotary cutter’s lowest possible point of operation, and the driveline must not bottom out when raised to the maximum height possible. If the driveline is too short, please call your Titan Implement dealer for a longer driveline. If the driveline is too long, follow the instructions for shortening the driveline.

5.5 Shortening the Driveline

1. Move rotary cutter up and down to get the shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft. Shut down tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft. Shut down tractor leaving rotary cutter in position of shortest distance. Securely block rotary cutter in position.

2. Separate driveline into two halves and connect them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.

9. File and clean the cut ends of both drive halves. Remove all chips and ﬁ lings.

10. Apply multi-purpose grease around the inner

driveline section. Slide drive halves over each other several times to distribute the grease. Install driveline on tractor and rotary cutter. Make certain driveline shielding is in place and in good condition.

Note: Do not use the rotary cutter if proper driveline

engagement cannot be obtained through these methods. Contact your Titan Implement dealer.

11. Set the tractor lift control stop to a position that will

prevent the driveline from contacting the front edge of the rotary cutter deck when the rotary cutter is raised fully.

3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.

4. Each section should end approximately 3” short of reaching the universal joint shield on the opposite section. If too long, measure 3” back from the universal joint shield and mark on the opposite section.

5. Repeat Step 4 for the other half of the drive.

6. Raise and lower rotary cutter to determine position with greatest distance between PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft. Shut down tractor leaving rotary cutter in position of greatest distance. Securely block rotary cutter in position.

6.2.2 Tractor Safety Devices

6.2.4 Tractor Horsepower

If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured.

Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.

6.2.3 ROPS and Seat Belt

WARNING

Rollover Hazard

To avoid serious injury or death from falling oﬀ tractor, equipment runover,

rollover, or crushing:

1) Use ROPS equipped tractor.

2) Keep ROPS locked in the UP position.

3) Only operate the equipment when seated in the tractor seat.

4) Always fasten seat belt when operating the tractor and rotary cutter.

The tractor must be equipped with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll bar) and seat belt to protect the operator from falling oﬀ the tractor, especially during a roll-over where the driver could be crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened.

Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an authorized dealer.

The power required to operate the cutter is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. Operating the cutter with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding recommended HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.

Depending on the model, these rotary cutters are designed to be mounted on a tractor CAT I or CAT ll 3-Point or Quick Hitch.

Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for the category of the tractor being used. If the hitch does not conform to ASABE CAT I/ll dimensions, the mower may not ﬁ t or raise properly. Consult an authorized dealer for possible modiﬁ cation procedures to mount nonconforming hitches. Depending on the hitch category, certain size pins are used to attach the mower to the tractor. CAT I hitches require 7/8” lower and 3/4” upper diameter hitch pins. CAT Il hitches require 1-1/8” lower and 1” upper diameter hitch pins.

1200-1600 Series Rotary Cutters 32 Titan Implement, LLC August 2016 (423) 334-0012

6.2.6 Power Take-Off (PTO)

This rotary cutter is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540 or a combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the rotary cutter and tractor can be determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. Those operating at 540 RPM will have a 6-spline shaft, and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a 21-spline shaft.

Page 33

Note: The rotary cutter will not operate on tractors

equipped with a 1000 RPM 21-spline or 1000 RPM 20-spline, 1-3/4” shaft.

Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for instructions to change PTO speeds on models that operate at more than one speed.

3. Turn oﬀ the tractor engine and dismount.

4. One lift arm at a time, insert hitch pin through the lift arm holes and install retaining pin.

5. Walk around to the opposite side and repeat the procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.

If operating an older model tractor where the tractor’s transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an over-running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the mower. An authorized tractor dealer can provide the over-running clutch and its installation, if needed.

DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching implement driveline to a tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the implement, resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer for assistance if the implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.

6.3 Attaching to Tractor

Use caution when connecting the rotary cutter to the tractor. The rotary cutter should be securely resting at ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the deck and clear of pinch points between the tractor hitch arms and rotary cutter hitch pins.

WARNING

6. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end hole with the holes of the rotary cutter’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert the retaining pin into the hitch pin.

7. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the rotary cutter from swaying side-to-side and possible contact with the tractor rear tires.

6.4 Detaching from Tractor

1. Move the rotary cutter to a level storage location and lower it to the ground or onto blocks. Park the tractor, place the transmission in park or neutral, and apply the parking brake. Lower the rotary cutter to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor. Before disconnecting the rotary cutter, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop.

2. Make sure the rotary cutter is resting securely on the ground or blocks before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor. Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the rotary cutter and clear of any pinch points caused by the tractor hitch arms and rotary cutter hitch pins.

Crush Hazard

Crush hazard between hitch and implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the hitch and implement during hook-up operations. Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.

1. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid interference when raising and lowering the rotary cutter.

2. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position the tractor with the 3-point lift arms positioned at the same height and to the outside of the rotary cutter hitch pins.

Note: Set the 3-point lift control to “Position Control”

so that the lift arms maintain a constant height when attaching the rotary cutter. See the tractor Operator’s Manual for correct settings when attaching 3-point equipment.

3. Extend the tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove tension on the top link hitch pin. When the pin is loose and easy to rotate, remove the pin from the rotary cutter.

4. Disconnect the lift arms and remove the rotary cutter driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay the driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall into mud or dirt, which can contaminate the bearing and shorten the life of the driveline.

6.5 Setting the Rotary Cutter

Properly setting the cutting height is essential for eﬃ cient and safe operation. A properly set rotary cutter will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain.

Note: Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the

ground with the blades causes damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the rotary cutter and drive. Blades contacting the ground may cause objects to be thrown out from under the cutter deck. Always avoid operating the rotary cutter at a height which causes the blades to contact the ground.

6.5.1 Setting the Cutting Height

The rotary cutter should be operated at the highest position, which will give desired cutting results. This will help prevent the blades from striking the ground, increasing blade life, and reducing stress on the rotary cutter and tractor.

operation, the rotary cutter should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4” lower in the front than the rear. Operating the rotary cutter at this pitch will allow the rotary cutter to cut the grass only once and requires less work from the tractor.

b. To increase mulching of the grass or crop

material during rotary cutter operation, the rotary cutter should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4” higher in the front than the rear. Operating the rotary cutter at this pitch will allow the rotary cutter to cut the grass twice and can result in a more even cut and improved distribution of the cut material.

5. Level the rotary cutter side-to-side by manipulating one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at least one of the lift arms is designed to allow for manipulation of its length. Shortening or extending the lift arm will allow for deck leveling from side-toside.

6. Securely block up the rotary cutter at this height.

7. Remove the tailwheel adjustment bolt and allow the tailwheel to rest at ground level. Align the nearest set of holes in the tailwheel adjustment and reinstall the support bolt.

8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that when lifting the rotary cutter, the front of the deck will raise 2 to 2½” before the tailwheel leaves the ground. This will allow the rotary cutter to follow the contour of uneven terrain.

6.6 Tire and Wheel

Laminated sectional tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the rotary cutter will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not exceed 15 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections.

1. Park the tractor and rotary cutter on level ground.

2. Using the 3-point hitch control lever, position the front of the rotary cutter with the side skids 1” lower than the desired cut height. For example, for a 3” cut, position the skids 2” from the ground. Set the 3-point control lever stop at this position to maintain this height when raising and lowering the cutter.

3. Shut oﬀ the tractor and remove the key.

4. Adjust the rotary cutter deck pitch by extending or retracting the 3-point top link.

a. To increase fuel eﬃ ciency and lower

horsepower requirements for rotary cutter

6.11 Operating Safety

WARNING

Crush Hazard

The tractor should be equipped with

a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt. A crushing hazard can occur if the driver is ejected from the seat while the tractor is in motion. Fasten the seat belt whenever the tractor is moving.

Thrown Object Hazard

Cutters can throw objects up to 300 feet. To avoid serious injury or death:

1) Keep all thrown object shielding in place.

2) Inspect area for potential thrown objects before cutting.

3) Do not operate rotary cutter with the deck raised.

Thrown Object Hazard

For non-agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of chain

guards or other protective guards at all times.

Stay Clear

Clear the work area of all unnecessary people and obstructions to prevent personal injury.

Cutter Blade Contact Hazard (hand)

To avoid serious injury or death, keep away from rotating blades. Do not put hands

under cutter deck.

Cutter Blade Contact Hazard (foot)

To avoid serious injury or death, keep away from rotating blades. Do not put feet under

rotary cutter deck.

1. Operate the rotary cutter only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artiﬁ cial lighting. Never operate the rotary cutter in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 300 feet in front and to the sides of the tractor and rotary cutter. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-oﬀ s, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris, and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items, discontinue operating the cutter.

2. Never operate the rotary cutter in an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

3. Do not operate the rotary cutter, or drive the tractor into material that is burning, or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot spots. Burning material, sparks, and coals could be thrown from the rotary cutter to areas of vegetation that might ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and rotary cutter could ignite, resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a ﬁ re extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish possible ﬁ res encountered. Do not operate the rotary cutter on a tractor with an underframe exhaust.

4. When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the rotary cutter (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the rotary cutter entirely while the blades are turning. If the rotary cutter must be raised higher than 12” from ground level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all blade rotation to come to a complete stop before proceeding to raise the rotary cutter.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fire Hazard

Clippings are flammable. To reduce the

risk of fire: Do not operate near fires. Keep rotary cutter deck clear of clippings and debris.

Fire Extinguisher

Carry a ﬁ re extinguisher on the tractor at all

times.

Titan Implement, LLC 37 1200-1600 Series Rotary Cutters (423) 334-0012 August 2016

Page 38

5. Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be cut

in two or more passes to achieve a uniform cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to 12” or more on the ﬁ rst pass. Then lower the rotary cutter to the desired height and mow the vegetation a second time. If possible, select a cutting direction that is at a 90 degree angle to the ﬁ rst pass to reduce streaking for a more uniform cut.

6. Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,

power lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid ground objects while you are operating. Use care to avoid hitting these items.

7. Avoid cutting in reverse. Instead, disengage the

PTO, wait for the blades to stop, and raise the deck. Back up into the area to be cut. Lower the deck, engage the PTO, and cut forward

6.12 Optional Chain Shielding

Titan Implement strongly recommends installing the optional chain shielding on all rotary cutters.

Full chain shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or damage property.

If the rotary cutter is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet.

The shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The rotary cutter deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet.

Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and replace any broken or missing chains, as required.

3. Inspect the condition of the blades and blade bolts daily. Replace any cracked, worn, bent, or damaged blades. Always replace blade bolts and lockwashers when replacing blades. Make sure the blade bolts are properly tightened.

4. Raise cutting height to 6” minimum.

5. Never allow blades to contact solid objects like rocks, posts, wire, curbs, guardrails, or the ground while mowing.

Rotary cutters can throw objects 300 feet or more under adverse conditions.

To avoid serious injury or death from thrown objects, inspect the area thoroughly for potential thrown objects and remove them before cutting.

Remove debris, rocks, wire, cable, metal objects, and other foreign material from area.

Wire, cable, rope, chains, and metal objects can be thrown or swung outside the deck with great velocity:

Mark the location of objects that cannot be removed.

Stop mowing if passersby are within 300 feet unless:

1. All thrown object shielding, including front and rear deﬂ ectors, chain guards, steel guards, bands, side skirts, and skid shoes are in place and in good condition when mowing.

2. Mower sections or wings are adjusted to be close and parallel to ground without exposing blades.

3. Mowing area has been inspected and foreign materials and debris have been removed.

4. Passersby are inside an enclosed vehicle.

6.13 Right of Way (Roadway) Mowing

Use double chain guards for highway, right-of-way, parks, greenbelt mowing, or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within 300 feet of the cutter.

No shielding is 100% eﬀ ective in preventing thrown objects. To reduce the possibility of injury:

1. Maintain rotary cutter shielding in good operational condition.

2. Inspect the condition of the thrown object guards, cutter side skirts, and skid shoes daily: Replace or repair worn or damaged guards.

(423) 334-0012 August 2016

Page 42

9.2 Greasing

See the diagram for the location of all grease zerks.

Grease all zerks every ﬁ fty hours of operation. Use an SAE multipurpose high-temperature grease with extreme pressure (EP) performance. Also acceptable is an SAE multipurpose lithium base grease.

1. Always use a handheld grease gun for all greasing.

2. Wipe grease zerks with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.

3. Apply grease until new grease can be seen coming out of the joint.

9.4 Gearbox Lubrication

The gearbox is ﬁ lled at the factory and should require no maintenance. If there is evidence of leakage, the grease level should be checked. If required, grease should be added until it comes to the proper level. Recommended lubricant is EP-0 Grease.

Note: Make sure the rotary cutter is level when

checking the oil in the gearbox.

Note: Overﬁ lling the gearbox will cause pressure to

build up and cause the seals to leak.

9.5 Blade Servicing

Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. If any blade is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage, replace both blades. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.

Manually wiggle the blade carrier to check for any looseness. Recheck torque every ﬁ fty hours. Retighten any loose parts.

9.5.1 Blade Removal

To remove blades for sharpening or replacement, remove the nut and lockwasher from the blade bolt through the inspection hole in the deck of the mower near the gearbox.

4. Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

5. Replace and repair broken grease zerks immediately.

6. If any grease zerk will not take grease, remove and clean it thoroughly. Also clean the lubricant passageway. Replace the zerk if necessary.

9.3 Driveline Lubrication

Lubricate the driveline U-joints and slip joint every eight operating hours.

1. Lower the rotary cutter to the ground, disconnect the driveline from the tractor PTO shaft, and slide the halves apart but do not disconnect from each other.

2. Apply a bead of grease completely around male half where it meets female half. Slide drive halves over each other several times to distribute grease.

3. Rotate the driveline safety shield until the holes in the shield match up with the grease zerks in the U-joints.

4. Apply grease to the U-joint grease zerk.

5. Repeat for the U-joint at the rear of the driveline.

9.5.2 Blade Installation

When installing blades, be sure to check the blade bolt pivot diameter for wear. Replace the bolt if worn more than 1/4 inch at any point. Tighten nut to 600 ft. lbs.

Always use a new lockwasher and nut when replacing the blade bolt.

Make sure blades are installed with the cutting edge in the direction of rotation. Rotation is counterclockwise as viewed from above the deck.

Page 43

9.5.3 Blade Sharpening

CAUTION

Sharp Object Hazard

The grinder may catch on the blade during

sharpening, propelling it forcefully. To prevent the possibility of serious injury, make sure blades are secured against movement while sharpening.

When sharpening blades, always sharpen both blades at the same time and grind the same amount on each blade to maintain balance. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration, which can damage gearbox bearings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks to the rotary cutter. Follow the original sharpening pattern. Do not sharpen blades to a razor edge, leave a 1/16” blunt edge. Do not sharpen the back side of the blade. Do not heat and pound out the edge.

FOLLOW ORIGINAL PATTERN

9.7 Blade Carrier Installation

1. Clean the splines on both the blade carrier and the output shaft.

2. Position the carrier on the gearbox output shaft and install the castle nut. Tighten the nut to a minimum 450 ft. lbs.

3. Strike the carrier near the hub several times with a heavy hammer to seat the hub. Use care not to strike the nut or the end of the shaft.

4. Retighten the nut to 700 ft. lbs.

5. Install the cotter pin and spread the tangs.

9.8 Shear Bolt Replacement (If Equipped)

NOTICE

Always use an approved Grade 2 shear bolt as a replacement part. Using a hardened bolt or shear pin may result in damage to driveline or gearbox.

1. Open the access covers on the gearbox shield bell.

9.6 Blade Carrier Removal

1. Remove the cotter pin and loosen the castle nut on the gearbox shaft. Do not remove the nut until the blade carrier is loosened.

2. Use a suitable two jaw gear puller to pull the carrier oﬀ the tapered gearbox shaft.

3. If a gear puller is not available, insert a bar through the blade bolt access hole with the end against the blade carrier. Strike the opposite end of the bar sharply. Rotate the blade carrier 180 degrees and repeat until the carrier breaks loose.

4. Remove the castle nut and the blade carrier.

2. Rotate the driveline to align shear bolt with the access hole in the gearbox shield. Remove the damaged shear bolt.

3. Align the holes in the U-joint and shaft.

4. Install shear bolt and secure with lock nut.

5. Close the access covers on the gearbox shield bell.

9.9 Slip Clutch Operational Check

The slip clutch serves as overall protection for the tractor, driveline, and gearbox. Even though new clutch assemblies are “run-in” and checked for torque prior to shipment, re-adjustment may be advisable if the clutch has been exposed to weather for an extended period of time. The clutch facing and plates should be inspected for rust and/or corrosion. After the rotary cutter has been stored for thirty days or more, perform the following check:

Titan Implement, LLC 43 1200-1600 Series Rotary Cutters (423) 334-0012 August 2016

Page 44

1. Make a trial run in the heaviest operating conditions expected. If the clutch slips noticeably, tighten the eight adjusting bolts no more than 1/2 turn between trial runs until the clutch slippage is reduced.

2. If necessary, adjust the nut on any spring that is unequal. Adjust all eight spring retaining nuts 1/3 of a turn (two ﬂ ats on a nut) and check clutch slippage.

2. Scribe a mark across the clutch facing. When subjected to shock loads, a separation of the marks will assure that the clutch setting is correct.

Note: Check the clutch periodically during the ﬁ rst

hour of operation for excessive heat build-up due to unexpected slippage.

If the clutch is being rebuilt (new facing and/or plates), it is necessary to “run-in” these parts prior to ﬁ nal adjustment. The plates should be thoroughly cleaned and free of foreign material, as well as being checked for warping with a straight edge. Warped plates cannot be adjusted properly and will not hold. To accomplish the “run-in” after assembly, follow this procedure:

3. Tighten all the adjusting bolts evenly until the clutch cannot be slipped by hand.

4. With the blade carrier locked in a stationary position, operate with the PTO at idling speed (approx. 100 RPM), until evidence of heating is noted. Do not

allow the clutch to overheat.

5. Discontinue operation and allow the clutch to

cool completely.

6. After the clutch has cooled, tighten all the adjusting

bolts evenly and proceed with the regular clutch adjusting procedures as described above.

3. If further adjustment is necessary, adjust in 1/3 turn increments. Adjust only to provide suﬃ cient torque to prevent slippage under normal conditions. Occasional slippage is normal for drive train protection. If satisfactory results cannot be obtained, consult your authorized dealer.

NOTICE

Do not overtighten and cause the spring to become solid, as this will cause shaft failure.

9.11 Bolt Torque Requirements

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper torque on all bolts. Use a torque wrench to assure the proper amount of torque is being applied to the fastener. For proper bolt torque values, refer to “11.1 Bolt Torque” on page 53.

Start all bolts or nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.

9.12 Welding Repairs

Before performing any type of welding repair to the rotary cutter, contact Titan Implement for

approval. Repair welding must be done with care and with procedures that may be beyond the capabilities of the ordinary welder.

9.10 Slip Clutch Adjustment

The slip clutch is factory preset to the correct torque for protecting the implement and tractor: Periodic adjustment is recommended. Should adjustment be needed, follow this procedure:

1. Check to be sure all spring lengths are the same. Initial spring length is shown in the chart.

11.1 Bolt Torque

OEM

Torque ﬁ gures indicated in the charts are used for non-greased or non-oiled threads and heads unless otherwise speciﬁ ed. Therefore, do not grease or oil bolts or cap screws unless otherwise speciﬁ ed in this manual. When using locking elements, increase torque values by 5%.

The tables shown below give correct torque values for various bolts and capscrews. Tighten all bolts to the torques speciﬁ ed in the charts unless otherwise noted. Check tightness of bolts periodically, using the bolt torque chart as a guide. Always replace hardware with the same Grade bolt.

11.1.1 Standard Torque Values

WARNING

EQUIPMENT FAILURE

OEM

The torque value for bolts and capscrews are

identiﬁ ed by their head markings. Replacing higher “Grade” bolts (Grade 5) with lower Grade bolts will lead to equipment failure and can result in injury or death. Always use replacement bolts with the same Grade markings as the removed bolt.
