Dealer Preparations
Read and understand the operator’s manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and setup of your cutter.
This Rotary Cutter has been partially assembled at the
factory. However, some assembly will be necessary to
attach the hitch, driveline and guards to the cutter.
It is best to go through the Pre-Assembly Checklist
before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly
task and make the job safer by having all the needed
parts and equipment readily at hand.
