TRAINING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our produc ts. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide sa fe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard co ntrol and accident p revention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Before working underneath, disconnect driveline, raise cutter, lock in transport position, and
block cutter securely. Hydraulic system leak down
and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.
c) Adjust the front-to-rear attitude from 1/2" to
3/4" higher than the front.
CHECK CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
1. Refer to Check Chain Installation (Option al), page
33 for check chain installation.
2. After making cutting hei ght a dju stm ent , adj us t bot h
chains (3) in che ck chain bracket (2) so you have
the same number of links on each side. This will
keep your cutting level.
■
Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground
with blades produces one of the most damaging
shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing
blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause
damage to cutter and drive.
When selecting a cutting height, you should consider
the area of operat ion. If the ground is rol ling and has
mounds the blades could contact, set the cutting height
accordingly.
1. Level cutter from side to si de . Chec k by me as urin g
from cutter frame to the ground at each deck rail.
2. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.
NOTE: Keep the front of cutter le ve l wit h or sligh tly
lower than rear for best mowing.
3. Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms,
rear tailwheel adjustment, or optional check chains.
4. To raise rear of cutter, move tailwheel down.
5. To raise front of cutter, raise tractor 3-point arms or
shorten optional check chains.

Disconnect cutter driveshaft and secure up off
ground. Raise cutter with 3-point hitch. Place
blocks under cutter side skids. Lower cutter onto
blocks. Disconnect cutter from tractor 3-point hitch
and carefully drive tractor away from cutter.
Keep children and bystanders away from storage area.
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc. T he slip clutch is designe d
to slip when excessive torsional loads occur.
3. Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground
speed to provide a clean cut without lugging the
tractor engine. Use a sl ow ground speed for bet ter
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 cu t at a low speed;
thin, medium-height m aterial can be c ut at a fas ter
ground speed.
4. Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain
proper blade speed and to produce a clean cut.
5. Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down
some grass and preve nt cu ttin g at th e sa me he igh t
as the surrounding ar ea. W hen th is o ccur s, r ed uc e
your ground speed but maintain PTO at 54 0 rpm.
The lower ground speed will permit grass to
rebound partially.
SHREDDING MATERIAL
For shredding, set the cutter lowe r at rear. Determine
how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in different situations.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the sa fety info rma tion in this manual.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting ca ught in moving parts. We ar
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
BLOCKING METHOD
4. The working surface must be level and solid to
support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure
jackstands are s table, both top and bottom. Mak e
sure cutter is approximately level.
5. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test
blocking stability before working underneath.
6. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before
working underneath.
7. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body underneath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or mov ement of control le vers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
To minimize the potential hazards or working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures:
1. Jackstands with a load ratin g of 1000 lbs or mo re
are the only approved blocking device for this
cutter. Install a minim um o f four jac kstan ds (shown
by Xs in Figure 11) under the cutter before working
underneath unit.
2. Do not position jacksta nds under wheels, ax les, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause
cutter to fall.
3. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing ja ckstand s under neath will no t ensu re
your safety.
Use a lithium grease o f #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum dis ulfid e) additi ve for all lo cation s u nless
otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly
before attaching greas e gun. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient whe n the lubrication schedule is followed.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 11 for lubricat ion points and frequency or
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

For gearbox, use a hig h qu alit y gear oi l with a v isc os ity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4
or -5 in gearboxes. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the
side plug on gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage, and co ntact your dealer if leakage
occurs.
Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight
operating hours. Failure to maintain proper
lubrication could result in damage to U-joints,
gearbox, and driveline.
2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not
disconnect from each other.
3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male
half where it meets fe male half. Slide driv e halves
over each other several times to distribute grease.
SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The slip clutch is designed to slip s o that the gearbox
and driveline are protected if the cutter strikes an
obstruction.
A new slip clutch or o ne that has bee n 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. Remove driveline from tractor PTO.
3. Loosen six 12 mm cap screws (7) to remove all
tension from the compression springs (8).
4. Hold clutch hub (3) solid and turn shaft to make
sure clutch slips.
5. If clutch does not slip freely, disassemble and clean
the flange yoke (1 ), clutch hub (3), d rive plate (4),
drive plate (5), and thrust plate faces (6).
6. Reassemble clutch.
7. Compress each of the six compression springs (8)
by tightening the six cap s crews (7) and lock nuts
(10). The compression springs should be
compressed to a height of 1-7/16", not including
washer (9). The minimum spring height is 1.36".
See Figure 12.
8. If a clutch contin ues to slip when the springs are
compressed to 1.36", check friction discs (2) for
excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" when new. Replace
discs after 1/16" wear.

The information in this section is written for deale r service personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mec han ic s a r e not prope rl y t ra ined i n
this type of repair, you may be time a nd money ahea d
to replace complete assemblies.
Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failure, or mechanical component failure.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting ca ught in moving parts. We ar
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Leakage can occur at the ver tical or horizont al gask ets
and shaft seals.
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.
Seal Installation
Refer to Figure 17.
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-
erly installed seal will leak.
1. Clean area in ho using where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.
3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.
4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip
toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing
with an OD that wi ll sit on the outsid e edge of the
seal but will clear the hous ing. Tubing with an OD
that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
