Lowering Wings; Driveline Shield Chains - Schulte V1280 Operator's Manual

IMPORTANT: Adjust tractor drawbar length so
distance from end of PTO shaft to pin hole on
drawbar is as follows:
540 RPM PTO - 1-3/8" 6 Spline: L= 14"
1000 RPM PTO - 1-3/8" 21 Spline: L = 16"
1000 RPM PTO - 1-3/4" 20 Spline: L= 20"
Incorrect drawbar length will change angle of driveline causing possible damage to constant velocity
joint. Do not use PTO adaptors. PTO adaptors will invalidate your warranty. See your tractors operator's
manual for drawbar adjustment procedures.

Lowering Wings

If the rotary cutter has been supplied to you already assembled it is possible that the wing
lift hydraulic cylinders are not completely filled with oil. An indication of this will be that the
wing lift lock up pins cannot be removed freely.
NEVER FORCE THE WING LIFT LOCK PINS OUT OF THEIR LOCK POSITION AS THE
WINGS MAY SUDDENLY DROP CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.
First fully retract the hydraulic wing lift cylinders then remove the wing lock up pins.

Driveline Shield Chains

Attach CV shield chain to tractor or cutter hitch
allowing sufficient slack for turning.
IMPORTANT: OSHA, ASABE, and SAE standards
require that all rotating shafts be guarded against
contact. The unchained plastic shields can rotate
with the driveline but must stop when they contact
another object.
NOTE: Driveline Shield may also be chained to the
gearbox cone using the supplied chains.
The shields must be regularly greased and
checked that they rotate freely on the driveline.
Refer to the Lubrication section for greasing
intervals.
