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
