To help prevent severe injury or death to you or someone else:
  • Do not engage tractor PTO when cutter is in fully raised position (transport position).
  • Keep all persons away from machine when raising and lowering cutter.

  1. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the machine from impact on ground when lowering, adjust rate at which hitch will lower.

    Adjust tractor rockshaft rate-of-drop. Allow at least three seconds for machine to lower from full lift height to the ground. (See your tractor Operator’s Manual.)

  2. If equipped, disengage tractor hitch/rockshaft control lever from transport lock position and lower cutter to the ground. (See your tractor Operator’s Manual.)

  3. Adjust tractor lift links to level machine side-to-side. (See your tractor Operator’s Manual.)

  4. Adjust cutting height and angle. (See procedure in this section.)
