Install the new or sharpened blade into 
position and secure the blade with a new 
bolt, bushing spacer & nut, and apply red 
thread lock to the bolt threads. Torque 
hardware to 3100 Ib-ft (4200 Nm) using a 
torque multiplier. Weld the center of the 
bolt to the inside diameter of the nut 
mounted in the hex slot on the back of the 
holder.

  

Weld 

0.0. of bolt shonk to 1.0 of hex nut

 

Repeat this procedure on the other blade 
end before installing the holder back on 
the attachment. Install new hardware to 
secure the holder to cutter drive. Torque 
the six (6) blade holder bolts to a minimum 
of 600 Ib-ft (813 Nm).

 

                                                          

Always

 

service 

(sharpen or replace) the blades as a set. 
Never run cutter with unmatched 
blades.

 

                                                                

 

Not

 

maintaining  your  implement  correctly 
could result in Minor or Serious Injury. 
Keep  your  implement  in  top  operating 
condition.

 

Before Every Use

 

Check that all fasteners (nuts, bolts, 
pins, keepers) are in their right place 
and are tight.

 

Inspect and replace any worn, torn or 
missing safety decals.

 

Pump No.2 lithium or molybdenum 
disulfide grease into all required areas

 

until you see old grease is being 
flushed out.

 

Investigate the location of any oil leaks 
and repair.

 

After every use, clean off any dirt residue 
with a garden hose and repeat grease 
application.

 

Every Week 

Check the condition of the blades by 
raising the cutter attachment off the ground 
and tilt the attachment back to the 90° 
position. Lower the attachment to the 
ground.

 

Inspect  the  cutter  blades  and  remove 
and  sharpen  them  if  necessary.  Sharp 
cutter  blades  will  cut  more  efficiently 
than dull blades.

 

After Every Season

 

Inspect the implement for any loose or 
worn parts that may need to be replaced 
prior to the next cutting season.

 

Visually inspect the cutting blades. 
Sharpen or replace them, if necessary.

 

Clean,  sand  &  repaint  any  area  that 
looks  worn  or  scratched  to  prevent 
further  rusting.  Use  an  equipment- 
paint  found  at  your  local  hardware 
store or building center.

 

Lubricate all pivot joints. If located in an 
area near an ocean or other corrosive 
conditions, apply a thin layer of grease to 
any exposed cylinder rod surfaces. Wipe 
grease from cylinder rods with a clean rag 
when taking the attachment out of 
storage.

 

Store your implement in a shed or 
cover with a water-proof tarp to
