Points” on page 26.

The tractor’s PTO shaft and cutter gearbox shaft
must be aligned and level with each other when
hooking-up the driveline to the tractor.

An additional driveline may be required if cutter is to
be used on more than one tractor, especially if a
Quick Hitch is used.

Driveline Installation

DANGER

All guards and shields must be installed and in good working
condition at all times during cutter operation.

DANGER

Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A
person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.

WARNING

Always disengage PTO, put tractor in park or set park brake,
shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for
blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.

WARNING

Do not over-speed PTO or machine breakage may result.
Some tractors are equipped with multispeed PTO ranges. Be
certain your tractor’s PTO does not exceed 540 RPM.

WARNING

Do not use a PTO adapter. A PTO adapter will increase strain
on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the
tractor’s master shield and could cause bodily injury or death.

IMPORTANT: Rotary Cutters are shipped with a
solid plug in the gearbox to prevent loss of oil during
shipping and handling. The solid plug on top of the
gearbox must be replaced with a vented dipstick. Do
not operate cutter without vented dipstick installed.
