INSTALLING DRIVE LlNE
4', 5' & 6' Models (Shear Bolt)
Use only a grade 2 shearbolt on driveline. Use of a higher grade bolt may cause serious damage to cutter. Use of a bolt other than grade 2 for shearbolt applications voids the manufacturer warranty.
1) Remove snap ring from input shaft of gearbox. Clean Input shaft to bare metal. Remove shearbolt and nut.
2) lnstall driveline on input gearbox shaft. Replace snap ring. (The snap ring will keep the driveline attached to the gearbox if .the shearbolt is sheared.)
3) Align hole in yoke with hole in input shaft and install shear bolt.1
4) Attach shield retaining chain included with driveline to shield and A-frame. The chain keeps the driveline shield from rotating when the PT0 is engaged. Make sure the chain is installed properly at al1 times to prevent rotation of shield.
7' & 10' Models (Slip Clutch) 1) Remove tapered bolt from driveline clutch yoke.
2)Slide yoke of driveline clutch ont0 the splined input shaft of the gearbox until hole in yoke lines up with groove in the shaft.

A WARNING 1 ) Your cutter should be level from side to side. With the cutter and tractor on level ground, use
A minimum 20% of a tractor and cutter weight must the tractor's link arm crank to adjust the lower be on tractor front wheelç with attachment in trans- link arm up or down as needed to level your port position. Without this weight, tractor could tip cutter. over causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in
Front to Rear Leveling
1) Using the tractor's three point lift, position the cutter at the desired cuttin'g height.
PN-808078 (Rev 01 104) 13
2) Adjust the top link in or out so that the front of the cutter is about 1 " lowerthan the rear. At this slight angle, the cutter does not require as much power. Fuel efficiency and cutter performance are thereby improved.
3) Check the tailwheel to see that it contacts the ground. If it does not, lower the bolt to next hole in adjustment bracket to lower tailwheel as needed to meet the ground.
4) If the tailwheel is too low causing too much front to rear tilt, adjust the tailwheel up by moving bolt in adjustment bracket up to next hole. Readjust the top link to properly position deck with slight forward tilt.
Driveline Interference Check
1) Start the tractor engine and slowly lift cutter until the driveline is at its shortest position. At this point, the two shafts should lack two inches from touching.
2) Now lower the cutter until the driveline is extended to its longest position. At this point, the two shafts should engage at least six inches.
3) Be sure the driveline clears the cutter deck when the cutter is raised. Raise the cutter while observing the clearance between front of deck and driveline shield. Stop when clearance is at 1 .OU' Adjust tractor 3 point quadrant upper stop now. Lower and raise cutter to ensure clearance.
4) If the drive line proves to be too short or too long, see your dealer about getting the correct length shaft. This is not a frequent problem, but shaft length should be correct to prevent damage to the P T 0 shaft or other components.
TRANSPORI'ING
1) Disengage PT0 and allow al1 moving parts to completely stop.
2) Lift cutter to fully raised position.
3) Transport at speeds compatible with safety and no more than 20 MPH.
4) Use care when transporting on rough terrain.
5) When 'traveling on public roads, always have a slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem mounted to the tractor such that it is visible from the rear.
6) Avoid travel on public roads at night. Comply with al1 local and state laws governing lighting requirements in addition to SMV emblem.
MAINTENANCE
Do not perform any maintenance while tractor is running or when cutter is in motion.
Gearbox 1) Check oil level in gearbox every 8 hours of operation. Fil1 to side level port using only SAE 90EP gear oil.
2) Check mount bolts before each use to be sure they are tight.
Shearbolt Replacement 4', 5' & 6' Models On cutters with a shearbolt driveline, replace broken shearbolts with a grade 2 shearbolt and locknut. Replacement of a broken shearbolt with a bolt higher than grade 2 may cause serious damage to the cutter. Use of a bolt higher than grade 2 as a shearboit in the driveline voids the manufacturer warranty.

PN-808078 (Rev 08/00)
Slip Clutch 7' & 10' Models Operational Check:
On a new unit or one that has been stored between seasons, perform the following check:
1) Loosen al1 spring retaining nuts until springs cari be turned with fingers.
2) With tractor at idle speed, engage PT0 for 2--3 seconds. Clutch should slip without turning blades. If not, contact your dealer.
3) Retighten nuts to compress springs according to diagram. Dim "A" = 1.16" for Bondioli clutches & Dim "A" = 1.28" for Comer clutches.
Failure to retighten nuts may cause damage to cutter andlor tractor due to improper slip clutch torque setting.
Adjustment:
'The slip clutch is designed to slip when blades encounter heavy brush or solid permanent objects. If this is not occurring or clutch slips too much (Le. smoke appears around clutch), adjustment should be made as follows:
1) Check to be sure that al1 springs are compressed to the correct length. Adjust spring length by tightening or loosening retaining nut.
2) If clutch still performs improperly, tighten or loosen al1 nuts in 1/32" increments until clutch performs properly.
