13. CUTTER STORAGE
It is recommended that the Cutter be stored with the center section and both wings fully lowered to ground
level. If the cutter is stored with the wings in the raised position, select a level area and install wing transport
pins to prevent the wings from falling BEFORE disconnecting the cutter hitch from the tractor.
Properly preparing and storing the mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
•
Clean any dirt or debris off the mower deck.
•
Scrape any accumulated cuttings off the under
side of the deck. Coat the deck underside and
any other exposed metal surfaces with oil to
prevent rusting.
•
If the implement is left unused for an extended
period of time, install the transport pins.
Retract the center cylinder completely.
Retracting the cylinder rods will prevent
rusting, ensure that the cylinders are full of oil
and relieve pressure in the hydraulic circuit. If
the cylinder rods are not retracted, smear
grease over exposed rods.
•
Apply grease to exposed threaded adjustment
screws. These include the cylinder depth stop
collar and the frame leveling rod.
•
Install the hitch jack on the jack mount located
on the outer hitch frame.
•
Lubricate all implement grease points and fill
gearbox oil levels as detailed in the
maintenance section.
•
Store the tractor shaft in the holder keep the
driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt and
other contaminants.
•
Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary
to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of
the implement.
•
Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
When disconnecting from the tractor for short period of time, swing the PTO support upright and lay the PTO
driveline into the cradle. When storing the implement for an extended period of time, it is recommended the
driveline be removed from the machine and stored inside.
When connecting the cutter to the tractor, ensure the PTO support is swung down, and out
of the way.
It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid implement and/
or tractor damage. If the implement sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or
humid air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or
corrosion. If the implement has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each season, and any time it
is suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Slip
Clutch Maintenance of the maintenance section in this manual.
