WARNING
Exercise caution when working around the blades. Blades are sharp and can cause serious injury. Wear gloves when
handling blades.
IMPORTANT:
Vertical drive alignment is crucial for proper cutterbar operation. Always use the drive alignment tool (MD #325683) when
installing a cutterbar.
CAUTION
The cutterbar weighs approximately 560 kg (1300 lb.). Use a suitable lifting device to support and move the cutterbar
into place.
1. Using a suitable lifting device, position cutterbar (A) so the
mounting holes in the frame line up with the holes in the
cutterbar.

location (C). Use one washer under the bolt head and one
on top of the nut. Snug bolts but do NOT tighten at
this time.
3. On inner support (B), install one M20 x 2.5 x 65 bolt at
location (D). Use three washers under the bolt head and
three before the nut. Snug bolts but do NOT tighten at
this time.

location (E). Use two washers under the bolt head. Snug
