7.3.15 CUTTING UNIT REMOVAL ___________________________________________
Before cutting unit removal a lift arm restraint tool should
be used.
1. To restrain lift arms 1,4 & 5 use the shorter lift arm
restraint tool.(B) For lift arm 1 the lift arm restraint
tool should be fitted between number 1 lift arm and
number 4 transport lock lever.
To restrain lift arms 6 & 7 use the longer lift arm
restraint tool.(C)
To restrain lift arms 2 & 3 use lift arm restraint
tool.(D)
2. Park the machine on a level flat surface. Lower the
cutting unit to be removed. Fit the relevant lift arm
restraint tool between the lift arm transport latch pin
and the transport lock lever. Fit the R-clip.(A) Adjust
the turn-buckle so the lift arm is held firmly in
position. Cutting unit can now be removed. Care
should still be taken not to stand over the lift arm.
3. Once the cutting unit has been removed, if the lift
arm restraint tool is to be removed before refitting of
the cutting unit an assistant will be required. The lift
arm will have approximately 30kg of upward force at
the lift arm end. The lift arm should be held down so
the restraint tool can be removed, keeping body
clear from above the lift arm, then slowly let the lift
arm raise into the transport position.
4. Refitting is a reversal of removal.
