MAINTENANCE
The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly
has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication every 8
hours. To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or repair, turn the three Nylon Nuts 1/4 turn in the Shield
Slots of the Cone and Tube and remove them. Slip the Shield Cone Assembly off inner section of the Driveline.
Install the new or repaired Shield on the Driveline. Place the split Nylon Bearing over the Driveline Housing of
Shaft against the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into
the Shield Bearing Retainer. Align a slot in the Shield Cone with one of the slots in the Shield. Put one of the
Nylon Nuts back in through the aligned slots and turn until it is perpendicular to the slots. Add the other two
Nylon Nuts.
Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring-activated locking
collar slides freely and locking balls are seated in groove on PTO shaft. A loose shaft could
slip off and result in personal injury or damage to cutter.
BLADE SERVICING
Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. Replace
any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out
when sharpening.
When sharpening blades, grind each blade the same amount to maintain balance. The
difference in blade weights should not exceed 1 ounce. Unbalanced blades will cause
excessive vibration which can damage gear box bearings. Vibration may also cause
structural cracks in cutter housing.
Use only original equipment blades on this cutter. They are made of special heat-treated
alloy steel. Substitute blades may not meet specifications and may fail in a hazardous
manner that could cause injury.
