Specifications

4. Bolt the welded end of the level control rod (#56) to the front tongue as shown on drawing

using a 5/8" x 2 ½” hex bolt and lock nut. The control rod clevis (#53) must be adjusted so the

cutter will sit level with the ground when it is pinned to the swivel assembly. NOTE: Be sure to

use the top bracket on the swivel assembly (#47) when the wheels are trailing behind the cutter

as shown in drawing.

5. Mount the slip clutch PTO shaft on the cutter. The clutch must be engaged so it will slip when

you hit a hard object as per operating instructions. After engaging the clutch, bolt on the PTO

guard (#3) using 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

6. An optional jack (#67) is available to lift the tongue when mounting the cutter a tractor.

7. Re check and tighten all bolts. Only pieces held by a bolt and lock nut should have free

movement.

8. 7' Cutters Only: Bolt the PTO bearing stand (#76) to the edge of the deck using 5/8" x 1-3/4" hex

bolts, lock washers and hex nut. Mount the PTO Q-shaft on the cutter gearbox. Slide a 1- 3/8"

pillow bearing onto the shaft at the end of the Q-shaft. With the guard mount (#77) under the

pillow bearing, bolt the pillow block to the stand using 5/8" x 2-1/4" hex bolts, lock washers and

hex nuts. Connect the second PTO shaft to the splined end of the Q-shaft. Bolt the PTO guard

(#78) to the stand using 1/4" x 1/2" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

Chain Kit Assembly Instructions

All cutters have the required holes for mounting the chain kit. The use of this chain kit will help

reduce the possibility of injury to persons or property by stopping many thrown objects.

1. Bolt the front chain holder (#1) to the front of the cutter using 1/2" x 1" hex bolts, lock washers

and hex nuts.

2. Use 1/4' x 6 link chains (#7) at the front. A chain is pushed through each slot from underneath

and a 3/8" rod is threaded through the top link of each chain. Hold rods in place using the

cotter pins supplied. See parts list for correct length of rods.

3. Bolt the rear center (#3) and rear side (#14) chain holder to the rear of the cutter. Use 1/4" x 5

link chains (#8) along all rear edges. Thread rods as in front using lengths as shown in parts

list. NOTE: Washers are used to hold an extra chain at both ends of the rear center rod and at

the inside end only of the rear side rods. These extra chains close the gap left at the corners

where the chain holders meet.
