Checking Driveline/Cutter ClearanceIMPORTANT: Prevent driveline damage from contact with frame or machine damage from contact with tractor tires. Raise cutter slowly and check for interference. If necessary, shorten center link or lengthen lift links to provide clearance to full lift height. Also, hitch height can be changed on LX4 and LX5 Cutters. (See Preparing the Cutter section for complete instructions.) 1. Raise cutter slowly and check for clearance between driveline shield (A) and cutter deck.2. Check clearance between tractor tires and foot guards or chain shield. 3. Check to see if hitch height position will provide clearance desired. NOTE: Final adjustments should be made before operating cutter. See ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT AND ANGLE in Operating the Cutter section. Center link should be installed in lowest hole at tractor end if there are multiple holes. Lift height may also be limited by installing stops on rockshaft control lever bracket. 4. Shorten center link or lengthen lift links to provide clearance. (See your tractor Operator's Manual.) IMPORTANT: PTO driveline may be too long for some tractor models, causing tractor transaxle damage. 5. Raise and lower cutter slowly to check for binding or interference. Check cutter-to-tractor driveline telescoping length to ensure it does not bottom out. Modify driveline if necessary. (See procedure in Assembly section.) |
