Field Set-up
!
WARNING
The following operational procedures should be carried out
by the tractor operator. Other persons should not be in the
area. All cutter operations including field set-up should be
stopped when other persons are in the vicinity.
Inspect Field and Cutter Blades
1. Thoroughly inspect area to be cut for debris and
unforeseen objects. Remove all potential hazards
and mark any that cannot be removed.
Refer to Figure 3-5:
2. Inspect wing blade carriers and cutting blades for
locked blades prior to lowering the wings. Use a pry
bar or other tool to separate locked blades.
Wing Deck Blade Positioning (RC6610 Shown)
Figure 3-5
IMPORTANT: Cutting should not be done in wet
conditions. Wet material will build up on the deck
underside causing additional horsepower loss, high
wear, and poor discharge.
IMPORTANT: Cutting blades may become locked
together (overlapped) when wing is raised for
transport. Operating cutter in this condition will result
in severe deck vibration. Inspect wing for locked
blades prior to power-on operation. Use a pry bar or
other tool to separate blades.

Lower Wing Down & Set Cutting Height
Refer to Figure 3-6:
1. Start tractor and raise wing up to release any tension
on the transport lock pin.
2. Without lowering cutter, shut tractor down properly
before dismounting. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” on page 14.
3. Remove hairpin cotter (#3) and transport lock
pin (#2) from the wing section.
4. Insert transport lock pin in hole (A) for storage.
Secure lock pin with hairpin cotter.
5. Start tractor and lower both wings down.
6. Adjust cutter to field cutting height. For detailed
instructions, see “Cutting Height Adjustment” on
page 28.
Set Wing Lift Lever In Float Position
Use the float position of your tractor’s hydraulic system to
provide automatic floating of the wing for varying terrain
conditions. This will ensure that the wing gauge wheel is
in continuous contact with the ground at all times.

IMPORTANT: The wing folding lever should be in
float position to avoid damage to the wing hydraulic
cylinder and axle while cutting on uneven terrain.
