Land Pride RC4015 Manuale Utente

The jack mount angle should be adjusted to position the 
park jack vertical while supporting the cutter hitch. This 
angle will vary depending on the number and size of 
stroke control spacers placed on the lift cylinder rod.

1.

With cutter hitched to a tractor, lower cutter to storage 
height.

2.

Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer 
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 13.

3.

Install park jack (#7). See “Park Jack Assembly” on 
page 13. Check jack angle. If jack is not vertical, 
proceed with step 3 below.

4.

Remove hex nut (#3), lock washer (#5) and carriage 
bolt (#2).

5.

Loosen 1" hex nut (#4). Do not remove.

6.

Rotate jack mount (#1) to align jack as near vertical 
as possible.

7.

Replace 1/2"-13 x 1 1/2" GR5 carriage bolt (#2) and 
secure with lock washer (#5) and hex nut (#3). 
Tighten hex nut to the correct torque.

8.

Tighten 1" hex nut (#4) to 645 ft-lbs.

9.

If moving cutter, skip to step 10. If unhooking cutter, 
see “Unhook Rotary Cutter” on page 22 for detailed 
instructions. 

10. If cutter is to be moved, remove park jack (#7) from 

hitch frame and attach it to the left-hand wing storage 
base. Make sure base of park jack is level with or 
lower than the head, especially after the wings are 
folded up. See cover picture for correct positioning.

NOTE:  If cutter is not hitched securely to a tractor, 
support blocks should be placed under the front 
skid shoes to support cutter while aligning the park 
jack vertically.

NOTE:  Refer to decal (#6) and instructions below 
for jack alignment and torque value instructions.

These adjustments should be made with your cutter 
hooked to the tractor operating the unit or to a tractor 
having the same drawbar height.

Refer to Figure 2-2 & Figure 2-3 on page 25:
1.

With cutter attached to a tractor, disengage PTO, and 
park on a level, hard surface. Place tractor gear 
selector in park or set park brake.

2.

Wait for blades to come to a complete stop and then 
fold wings up to transport position.

3.

Shut tractor engine off and remove switch key before 
dismounting from tractor.

4.

Set transport locks to keep wing decks from falling. 
See “Transport Locks” on page 30 for instructions.

5.

Using hydraulic lift, adjust center deck height so that 
the front skids (#2) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.

6.

On both sides of the center deck are continuous 
hinges (#1). Measure distance from bottom of hinges 
to ground at the front and back. They should be equal 
distance off the ground at the back and 1" closer to 
the ground at the front than they are at the back. 

If continuous hinges are too high at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#3). 

b. Loosen adjusting nuts (#4) an equal amount to 

lengthen both leveling rods until hinges (#1) are 
inclined from front to back by 1" with the front 
being closer to the ground than the back. 

If continuous hinges are too low at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#3) several turns. 

b. Tighten adjusting nuts (#4) an equal amount to 

shorten both leveling rods until hinges (#1) are 
inclined from front to back by 1" with the front 
being closer to the ground than the back.

NOTE:  Loosening coupler nuts (#4) will lengthen 
leveling rods and lower front of cutter. Tightening 
coupler nuts (#4) will shorten leveling rods and raise 
front of cutter.
