SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
PREPARATION  
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.  
Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-  
ation and allows loads or equipment components  
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment  
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,  
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all  
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before  
putting into service or allowing anyone to  
approach the equipment.  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-  
cern, 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.  
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and  
valves are in good condition and not leaking before  
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and  
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses  
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,  
pinched, or come into contact with any moving  
parts. Operate moveable components through full  
operational range to check clearances. Replace  
any damaged hoses immediately.  
TRAINING  
Safety instructions are important! Read all  
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all  
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-  
ment manuals and safety decals are available from  
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check  
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-  
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules  
can result in serious injury or death.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
Operators must be instructed in and be capable  
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-  
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to  
operate this equipment without proper instruc-  
tions.  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Make sure driveline guard tether chains are  
attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in  
the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline.  
Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline  
guards rotate freely on driveline before putting  
equipment into service.  
Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or  
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely  
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death  
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable  
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.  
Inspect chain shielding before each use.  
Replace if damaged.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)  
Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or  
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely  
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death  
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable  
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
Always sit in power unit seat when operating  
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat  
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,  
and ensure all other controls are disengaged  
before starting power unit engine.  
Do not put this equipment into service unless all  
side skids are properly installed and in good condi-  
tion. Replace if damaged.  
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with  
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor  
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not  
estimate.  
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit  
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter  
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to  
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and  
can result in personal injury or death.  
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q  
Series cutters). Do not exceed.  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
Look down and to the rear and make sure area  
is clear before operating in reverse.  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
OPERATION  
Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
operation.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive 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 (92 m).  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,  
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before  
resuming operation.  
Leak down or failure of mechanical or hydraulic  
system can cause equipment to drop.  
On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut-  
ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder  
with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718  
mm) from attaching point center to center.  
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
On mounted units with optional hydraulic cut-  
ting height adjustment, use a double-acting cylin-  
der with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4"  
(718 mm) from attaching point center to center.  
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.  
Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
TRANSPORTATION  
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.  
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from  
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
The maximum transport speed for towed and  
semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).  
Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the  
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and  
secured. Never place any part of the body under-  
neath 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 unexpect-  
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-  
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath  
and blocking requirements or have work done by a  
qualified dealer.

weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with  
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor  
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not  
estimate.  
Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive 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 (92 m).

CONNECT CUTTER TO TRACTOR  
(PULL-TYPE)  
NOTICE  
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
For tractors with a 1-3/8" diameter PTO shaft,  
the horizontal distance from end of tractor PTO  
shaft to center of drawbar pin should be 14" for the  
540 rpm cutter and 16" for the 1000 rpm cutter.  
Tractors with a 1-3/4" 20-spline PTO shaft should  
be set to 20". This will minimize joint knock and  
damage to drive components.  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q  
Series cutters). Do not exceed.  
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
1. Adjust tractor drawbar to obtain the desired  
drawbar-to-hitch-point distance.  
NOTE: On some tractors, a drawbar kit must be  
used to obtain the required dimension. Check with  
your tractor dealer for assistance.  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,  
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before  
resuming operation.  
2. Attach parking jack to cutter tongue. Raise tongue  
to tractor drawbar height.  
3. Secure cutter to tractor drawbar with a high-  
strength drawbar pin 3/4” or larger. Keep pin in  
place during operation.  
CAUTION  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
4. Loop safety tow chain around tractor drawbar  
support. Secure the hook to a chain link that allows  
enough slack for proper hitch articulation.  
5. Connect cutter driveline to tractor PTO shaft,  
making sure the spring-activated lock pin slides  
freely and is seated in tractor PTO splined groove.  
Safety tow chain must be hooked-up to both the  
implement and tractor during operation or trans-

Tractor Adjustments  
Before attaching tractor to cutter, install sway blocks or  
sway chains, or adjust stabilizer bars. Refer to the trac-  
tor operator's manual for instructions.  
8. Attach drive shaft shield to bearing housing using  
two 3/8 x 1 cap screws and 3/8 lock washers.  
Install tractor front end weights as recommended by  
the tractor manufacturer to provide 20% of weight on  
front wheels.  
Hydraulic Connection  
1. Inspect hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in good  
condition.  
2. Clean the fittings before connecting them to the  
tractor hydraulic ports.  
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with  
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor  
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not  
estimate.  
3. Attach the hydraulic hose from the cutter to the  
tractor.  
4. Route the hose through the hose holder on H-  
frame and be sure the hose can slide freely in the  
holder. Do not allow hose slack to drag on the  
ground or become caught on tractor protrusions.  
5. From the operator position, start tractor and raise  
and lower deck several times to purge trapped air  
from the hydraulic cylinder.  
Interference Check  
1. Be sure that tractor 3-point lift links do not interfere  
with hydraulic hoses, cutter driveline, or cutter  
frame.  
2. Check for straight-ahead operation and at full-  
turning angles. If there is any interference, remove  
the lower lift links.  
3. Contact between tractor lift links and cutter parts  
can cause damage, especially when turning.  
Turning Limits for CV Driveline

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT (MOUNTED)  
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick  
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline at this time.  
NOTICE  
Figure 4. Drive Halves Placed Parallel  
If attaching cutter using a Quick Hitch the dis-  
tance between the tractor PTO and the gearbox  
input shaft will increase. Follow steps as you would  
for the 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.  
3. Measure from the end of the upper shield to the  
base of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-  
9/16" to dimension (A). See Figure 5.  
Raise and lower cutter and measure the maximum and  
minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft and  
the gearbox input shaft. Separate the driveline into two  
halves and lay them side-by-side with U-joints at oppo-  
site ends.

Figure 8. Cutting Height Adjustment  
Pull-Type Units  
On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut-  
ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder  
with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718  
mm) from attaching point center to center.  
DP5  
Figure 7. Cut Shaft to Length  
Cutting height range is from 2" to 13". A hydraulic cylin-  
der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust-  
ment.  
Driveline Interference Check  
1. Check for clearance between driveline and cutter  
deck.  
When selecting a cutting height, you should consider  
the area of operation. If the ground is rolling and has  
mounds the blades could contact, set the cutting height  
accordingly.  
2. With driveline properly attached to tractor and  
gearbox, slowly lift cutter and observe driveline. If  
clearance between driveline and cutter deck is less  
than 1 inch, shorten top link or limit upper travel of  
lower hitch arms. Refer to tractor operator's  
manual for instructions.  
NOTICE  
Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking  
ground with blades produces one of the most dam-  
aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this  
occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gear-  
boxes will be damaged.  
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
Mounted Units  
To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting  
height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately  
1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4"  
equals the cutting height.  
To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting  
height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately  
1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4"  
equals the cutting height.  
Adjust the tractor 3-point hitch to a distance of 2-1/4" at  
position A to obtain a 4" cutting height. See Figure 8.  
Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms,  
raise or lower the tailwheel and set dimension A to 2-  
1/4" to achieve a 4" cutting height.  
Using any of the optional height adjustment devices,  
raise or lower the tailwheel to obtain 2-1/2 to 2-3/4  
inches at position B.  
Loosen the jam nut on the attitude rod that runs from  
the tongue to the tailwheel. Adjust rod in or out until  
dimension B is approximately 1/2 inch more than  
dimension A. Refer to Figure 8.  
Adjust top link to provide 1-1/4 inches of clearance  
between the break link (2) and the rear of the lift links.  
See Figure 8. This clearance will allow the cutter to  
float over uneven terrain.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (PULL-TYPE)  
Normal Mowing  
TRACTOR OPERATION  
Use care when operating around tree limbs and other  
low objects.  
For the most economical power use and best cutting  
results, the cutter should be from 1/2" to 3/4" higher at  
the rear than at the front.  
Use care and reduce ground speed on rough terrain.  
Always watch for hidden hazards.  
Being knocked off or falling off tractor can result in seri-  
ous injury or death.  
For grass and weed mowing, adjust cutter to run level  
or with the front slightly lower.  
Only use a tractor with a Roll Over Protective Structure  
(ROPS) and seat belt. Securely fasten seat belt before  
starting tractor.  
Shredding  
For shredding, it is better to set rear of cutter slightly  
lower than the front. How much lower depends on the  
material to be shredded. Determine the best setting for  
your situation by experimenting. Use a slow ground  
speed for better shredding.  
The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the  
PTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on the  
cutter drive system. Increase throttle to proper PTO  
speed 540 rpm (1000 rpm on "Q" models).  
Be sure operator is familiar with all controls and can  
stop tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency. The  
operator should give complete, undivided attention to  
operating tractor and cutter.  
DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT (PULL-TYPE)  
With the cutting height established, adjust the driveline  
carrier bearings in the H-frames so that the front drive-  
line is parallel to the ground with cutter in cutting posi-  
tion.  
OPERATING TECHNIQUE  
Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor  
PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm (1000 rpm on "Q" mod-  
els). Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in  
an emergency.  
WHEEL SPACING  
Wheels may be adjusted to any position for row crop  
shredding.  
Engage PTO at a low engine rpm to minimize stress on  
the drive system and gearbox. With PTO engaged,  
raise PTO speed to 540 rpm (1000 rpm on "Q" models)  
and maintain throughout cutting operation.  
BLADE SELECTION  
Optional stump jumpers are recommended for rugged  
terrain where hidden rocks, stumps, and other objects  
may be encountered.  
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with  
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to  
slip when excessive torsional loads occur.  
There are two blade options available for this cutter:  
standard suction blades and flat-double edge blades.  
The standard suction blade is a general use, multipur-  
pose blade. The double-edge blade requires less horse  
power because it does not mulch or recut material. It is  
designed for use in areas where blade wear is a prob-  
lem. Sandy soils are extremely hard on blades.  
Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed  
to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor  
engine. Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.  
Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the  
material’s height, type, and density.  
Blade rotation, viewed from the top of the cutter is  
counter-clockwise for the right crossbar, and clockwise  
for the left crossbar; the center crossbar is counter-  
clockwise on the 540 rpm models and clockwise on the  
1000 rpm models.  
Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph.  
Tall, dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin,  
medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground  
speed.  
Always operate tractor PTO at proper rpm (540 or  
1000) to maintain blade speed and to produce a clean  
cut.  
When one cutting surface of the double-edge blade is  
worn, the opposite edge may be used by placing the  
blade on a crossbar of the opposite rotation. Blades  
from the right may be used on the left. Blades on the  
left may be used on the right.  
Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down  
some grass and prevent cutting at the same height as  
the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce your  
ground speed but maintain PTO at 540 rpm (1000 rpm  
on "Q" models). The lower ground speed will permit  
grass to rebound partially.  
NOTE: Blades must be moved in pairs. Never use one  
new blade and one used blade on a crossbar. Crossbar  
can become unbalanced.

Cutter Operation  
When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that  
all persons are in a safe location. Slowly move into the  
material with the tractor PTO set at 540 or 1000 rpm.  
• Damage to the implement or its components.  
Mowing Tips  
Use additional caution and reduce speed when  
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on  
inclines.  
Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.  
Look down and to the rear and make sure area  
is clear before operating in reverse.  
1. Always transport with cutter in raised, locked  
position.  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
2. Raise cutter with hydraulic cylinder.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
operation.  
CAUTION  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,  
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before  
resuming operation.  
Maximum recommended ground speed for cutting or  
shredding is 5 miles per hour. Adjust tractor ground  
speed by using higher or lower gears to provide a clean  
cut without lugging tractor engine.  
Figure 9. Transport Lock Operation  
STORAGE  
Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higher  
the first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees the  
second pass.  
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and  
use less power.  
Keep children and bystanders away from stor-  
age area.  
Before entering an area, analyze it to determine the  
best procedure. Consider the height and type of mate-  
rial to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,  
etc.).  
ON MOUNTED CUTTERS:  
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 hydraulic lines to optional cyl-  
inder. Disconnect cutter from tractor 3-point hitch  
and carefully drive tractor away from cutter.  
TRANSPORTING  
ON PULL-TYPE CUTTERS:  
Raise cutter and block securely. Block wheels  
and raise tongue with jack. Disconnect hydraulic  
lines to optional cylinder. Disconnect driveline and

who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,  
your dealer has trained service technicians available.  
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-  
tion in this manual.  
3. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test  
blocking stability before working underneath.  
4. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set  
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before  
working underneath.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and  
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway  
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.  
CAUTION  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
LUBRICATION  
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,  
particularly when operating in sandy areas.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
See Figure 10 for lubrication points and frequency or  
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.  
Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-  
quent lubrication.  
BLOCKING METHOD  
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 fol-  
lowed.  
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the  
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and  
secured. Never place any part of the body under-  
neath 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 unexpect-  
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-  
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath  
and blocking requirements or have work done by a  
qualified dealer.  
Gearbox Lubrication  
1. 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.  
2. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on side  
of gearbox or oil level is between rings on dipstick  
when it is seated on top of gearbox. Check  
gearbox daily for evidence of leakage, and contact  
your dealer if leakage occurs.  
To minimize the potential hazards of working under-  
neath the cutter, follow these procedures.  
Driveline Lubrication (Figure 10)  
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 (shown  
by Xs in Figure 10) under the cutter before working  
underneath unit.  
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every ten operating  
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could  
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and  
driveline.  
Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or  
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause  
cutter to fall.  
2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from  
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not  
disconnect from each other.  
2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.  
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure  
your safety.  
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.

CAUTION  
Sharpening Blades  
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement  
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original  
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.  
NOTICE  
When sharpening blades, grind the same  
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 struc-  
tural cracks to cutter.  
NOTICE  
Crossbar rotation viewed from the top of the  
cutter, is counter-clockwise for the right gearbox  
and clockwise rotation on the left gearbox; the cen-  
ter crossbar is counter-clockwise on the 540 rpm

8. If a clutch continues 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. Minimum disc thickness is  
1/16".  
SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT  
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:  
SHIELDING REPAIR  
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.  
2. Remove driveline from tractor PTO.  
Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
3. Loosen six 12 mm cap screws (7) to remove all  
tension from compression spring (8).  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive 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 (92 m).  
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), 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 screws (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 13.  
Repairing Optional Chain Shielding  
Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and  
replace any broken or missing chains as required.

Figure 14. Flexible Coupler  
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate  
tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or  
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an  
increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion.  
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.  
FLEXIBLE COUPLER  
RUBBER DISK REPLACEMENT  
The flexible coupler side drive is designed to flex when  
striking heavy objects or during start-up to protect gear-  
boxes. The rubber disks will wear out over time and  
require replacement much like slip clutch disks. To  
maximize rubber disk life, lower tractor engine speed to  
an idle when engaging the PTO and avoid striking the  
ground with cutter blades.  
WARNING  
Periodically inspect the disks for signs of cracking. A  
disk may run for some time after a crack starts but this  
is the first sign that disk replacement is required in the  
future.  
To replace the disks, remove hardware items 6, 7, 8,  
and 9. Remove sleeves (7) from old disk and install in  
new disk. Reassemble and torque bolts to 85 lbs-ft.  
See Figure 14. Take special care not to rotate gearbox  
shaft and throw blades out of time. If rubber disks have  
failed and blades are hitting, you will need to re-time  
the blades per instructions on page 36.  
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten-  
sion hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side  
— not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety  
cage if available.  
SERVICING TIRES SAFELY  
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 15)  
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the  
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.  
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam-  
aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the  
tire inflated.  
Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged  
parts.  
Replace any safety decals that are missing or not  
readable.  
Periodically or Before Extended Storage  
Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,  
crop residue, etc. from machine.  
Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water  
spray.  
1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn  
safety decals or near edges of decals as water  
spray can peel decal off surface.

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.  
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.  
Before working underneath, disconnect drive-  
line, 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.  
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.  
CAUTION  
Pipe or tube must  
press at outer  
edge of seal.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE  
NOTE: Read this entire section before starting any  
repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.  
1. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it  
runs out the side level plug or oil level is between  
rings on dipstick when it is seated on top of  
gearbox.  
1. Seal  
NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replac-  
ing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears,  
shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Pur-  
chasing a complete gearbox is more economical.  
2. Pipe or tube  
3. Seal seat  
4. Casting  
2. 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.

ALL MODELS  
FILL GEARBOXES  
NOTICE  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive 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 (92 m).  
Gearbox is not filled at the factory. Prior to  
delivery to customer, make sure gearbox is filled  
only half-full with 80W or 90W API GL-4 or GL-5  
gear lube. Use side plug to remove any excess oil.  
Side Gearboxes  
1. Make sure vent plug hole is clear (installed by  
dealer).  
2. Remove plug on side of gearbox  
Full chain shielding is required for all non-agri-  
cultural mowing. Full shielding is also recom-  
mended for all agricultural use to further reduce  
the risk of thrown objects.  
3. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on  
gearbox. Use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity  
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of  
GL-4 or GL-5.  
The chain shield assemblies are ready for installation  
when you receive them.

BOLT TORQUE CHART  
Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specific  
application.  
Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list.  
Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware: SAE for SAE hardware and Metric for metric hardware.  
Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.  
All torque values are given to specifications used on hardware defined by SAE J1701 MAR 99 & J1701M JUL 96.
