Table of Contents
Hydraulic Reservoir Oil Fill
Refer to Figure 1-8:
The Rotary Cutter is shipped without hydraulic fluid.
1. Park cutter on a level surface, set park brake, turn off
ignition switch, and remove switch key.
2. Remove fill cap and dipstick from reservoir and add
35 gallons of Mobilfluic 424 to the hydraulic reservoir.
Use care to ensure that dust or other foreign
particles do not contaminate the fluid.
3. Wipe dipstick clean. Fully insert it and remove.
Check oil level on dipstick. Fill with recommended oil
to the full mark. Replace fill cap and dipstick.
Transport Safety Chain
Refer to Figure 1-8 & Figure 1-9:
!
WARNING
Transport safety chain must remain hooked to the deck until
ready to extend parallel arms and deck cylinder. Float Switch
must be “OFF” until gauge wheels are resting on the ground.
The transport safety chain should always be hooked to
the deck hook when cutter is folded up. Otherwise, the
operating levers and/or push button switches could be
bumped or hoses could burst allowing deck to fall and
cause damage to cutter, tractor, and anyone nearby.
When unhooking the transport safety chain, make sure
the arm and deck cylinders are retracted and if available,
the Float Switch is set to “OFF”. Do not force safety chain
off the deck hook. If safety chain does not remove easily,
investigate the problem and correct before continuing.
Once unhooked, store safety chain on the storage hook.
Breakaway Cylinder
Refer to Figure 1-10 on page 17:
The breakaway cylinder protects the Rotary Cutter from
damage when cutter deck or parallel arm contacts a solid
object while moving forward. It does not protect the cutter
while backing up. Always make certain the area behind
the cutter is clear before backing up. See Breakaway
Cylinder on page 37 for additional information.
1. Remove 1/2" shipping bolt from cutter before
connecting hydraulic hoses. DO NOT reinstall
shipping bolt.
2. Attach breakaway hoses to a single duplex outlet on
the tractor as shown in Figure 1-10.
IMPORTANT: Any high quality mineral based
hydraulic fluid such as Mobilfluid 424 with a viscosity
rating of 10W-30 is acceptable. For alternate fluids,
search on the web for "Mobilfluid 424" or go to
www.mobil.com .
IMPORTANT: A 1/2" bolt is installed for shipping
purposes only. This bolt must be remove before
connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor.
