PUMP,SPEED INCREASER AND CUTTER ATTACHMENT
To attach the Speed Increaser, Cutter and Pump
to the tractor, use the following procedure:
7. Attach the Speed Increaser Mount Plate to
the tractor loosely. Refer to the installation
drawing, supplied in the packing box, for
specific instructions.
8. Grease the tractor PTO shaft and slide the
Speed Increaser on. Install the 1/2" bolts
and bushings between the Speed Increaser
and Mount Plate. Do not tighten bolts at this
time.
9. With the tractor in idle and the PTO
engaged, alternate tightening the Mount
Plate bolts following an "X" pattern until they
have all been tightened. Refer to Torque
Chart for proper torque.
10. Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor
in park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting. Then attach the cutter tongue
to tractor drawbar with bolt, washers and
locknut.
11. Grease the inside and outside of the Splined
Adapter Bushing and insert it into the Speed
Increaser. Slide the Pump in place and
tighten the mounting bolts.
NOTE: When attaching the pump to the speed
increaser, reposition the angle of the hose fittings
on the pump to allow sufficient hose movement so that the hoses won’t crimp or twist while in operation.(ex.
going through dips and uneven terrain)
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
