TRAINING

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention 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.

OWNER SERVICE

WARNING

CAUTION

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 safety information in this manual.

 Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

 Before performing any service or maintenance, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

 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 movement of control levers 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.

jackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Make 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.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION

1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around

parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

2. See Figure 7 for lubrication points and frequency of lubrication based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

3. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is followed.

 If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

BLOCKING METHOD

To minimize the potential hazards or working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures.

1. Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs. or more are the only approved blocking device for this cutter. Install a minimum of four jackstands, two in front and two in rear (refer to Xs in Figure 7) under the cutter before working underneath unit.

2. Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause cutter to fall.

3. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit. Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure your safety.

4. The working surface must be level and solid to support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure

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 female half. Slide drive halves over each other several times to distribute grease.

Gearbox Lubrication

For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity 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 contact your dealer if leakage occurs.

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 structural 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.

3. Align crossbar (43) with blade access hole in cutter

frame. Apply a liberal coating of Never-Seez equivalent to blade pin and crossbar hole. Make sure blade offset is away from cutter.

4. Insert blade pin (28) through blade. Align key on blade pin with keyway in crossbar and push blade pin through crossbar.

5. Insert lock washer (45) and nut (46) through blade access hole in the cutter frame. Install on blade pin (28) and tighten to 450 lbs-ft.

ADJUSTING SLIP CLUTCH

Comer

1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.

2. Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can rotate

freely, yet remain secure on the bolts.

3. Mark outer plates of slip-disc clutch as shown in Figure 10.

4. Securely attach implement to the tractor and start the tractor.

5. Engage PTO for several seconds then quickly disengage it.

Figure 9. Blade Sharpening

Installing Blades (Figure 8)

 Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

■ Crossbar rotation is counterclockwise when

looking down on cutter. Be sure to install blade cutting edge to lead in counterclockwise rotation.

NOTE: Always replace or sharpen both blades at the

same time.

1. Inspect blade pin (28) for nicks or gouges, and if you find any replace the pin.

2. Insert blade pin through the blade. Blade should swivel on bolt; if it doesn’t, determine the cause and correct.

6. Turn tractor off and remove key.

7. The friction lining plates should have "slipped".

Check the marks placed on the outer plates of the slip-disc clutch in step 3 to make sure this is the case.

8. If clutch does not slip, check assembly for oil, grease and debris. Clean if necessary.

9. Reassemble clutch and tighten bolts no more than 1/8 of a turn at a time until desired setting of 1.26". See Figure 10.

10. If excessive slippage continues, check lining plates for excessive wear. They are 1/8" thick when new and should be replaced after 1/32" of wear to ensure proper operation.

Walterscheid

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. Remove driveline from tractor PTO.

3. Loosen six 10 mm cap screws (6) to remove all

tension from spring plate (5).

Incorrect Installation

The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead to replace complete assemblies.

 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.

Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets and shaft seals.

Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

Seal Installation

NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improperly installed seal will leak.

1. Clean area in housing 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 will sit on the outside edge of the seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.

5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding distortion to the metal seal cage.

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE

Read this entire section before starting any repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.

Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a complete gearbox is more economical.

Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings. Leakage is a very serious problem and must be corrected immediately.

Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side-to-side or end-play in gear shafts.

Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the side level plug.

Insert another bearing cup directly across from first cup and press in as far as possible with hand pressure. Trap cups in vise and apply pressure. Be sure journal cross is started into bearings and continue pressure with vise, squeezing in as far as possible. Tapping the yoke will help.

2. Seat cups by placing a drift or socket (slightly smaller than the cup) on cup and rap with a hammer. See Figure 23. Install snap ring and repeat on opposite cup.

3. Repeat Step 1 & Step 2 to install remaining cups in remaining yoke.

4. Move both yokes in all directions to check for free movement. If movement is restricted, rap on yokes sharply with a hammer to relieve any tension. Repeat until both yokes move in all directions without restriction.
