3. To prevent loss, lay the lock-bracket back until
hitting the stop, then install the pins in the hole for
safe storage.
WARNING
Crush Hazard
Hydraulic or mechanical failure can allow a
wing to drop suddenly without warning. Do
not allow anyone to walk under or stand near
a raised wing when the uplock pins are removed.
4. Lower the wings.
Note:
It is normal for the wings to lower or raise at
different rates.
5. If necessary, raise and lower the wings until all air is
purged from the system, then lower the wings to the
operating position.
6.
Check the tractor’s hydraulic fluid reservoir and top
off if necessary.
7. Check wing tops to see if they are level with the top
of the center deck. If the outer edge of either wing
top is higher or lower than the center deck, then that
wing should be leveled as follows:
a. If the outer wing edge is higher than the center
deck, loosen jam nut (1) and rotate turnbuckle
(2) counterclockwise to lower outer wing edge
until wing is level. Tighten jam nut (1) to the
correct torque when level.
b. If outer wing edge is lower than the center
deck, loosen jam nut (1) and rotate turnbuckle
(2) clockwise to raise outer wing edge until
wing is level. Tighten jam nut (1) to the correct
torque when level.
c. When properly adjusted, the turnbuckle length
should be approximately 11.5”.
5.4 Checking the Driveline Length
Before operating the rotary cutter, make sure the
driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged.
Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates
the outer housing until the assembly can shorten no
more. Bottoming out can cause serious damage to the
tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the tractor and
through the support bearings or downward onto the
PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause
personal injury.
1. Attach the rotary cutter to the tractor. Do not attach
the driveline. Keep the driveline out of the way of
moving parts.
2. Raise and lower the rotary cutter to determine the
maximum and minimum distance between the
tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If
the distance is too large, the driveline will be too
short for proper engagement. If the distance is too
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and
damage the rotary cutter or tractor.
There must be at least six inches of engagement at
the rotary cutter’s lowest possible point of operation,
and the driveline must not bottom out when raised to
the maximum height possible. If the driveline is too
short, please call your Titan Implement dealer for a
longer driveline. If the driveline is too long, follow the
