Adjusting the Tractor Top Link - Transport Position (Fig. 3A)
When transporting the ERC Rotary Cutter, adjust the Tractor Top Link as shown in Fig. 3. making sure the U-
bracket is parallel to the ground.
This position will help prevent the rotary cutter from bouncing causing damage to the implement or tractor.
The rotary cutter should not be lifted any higher than 15-20" off the ground.
Never transport the rotary cutter with the PTO engaged and blades rotating!
When transporting, do not raise the implement so high that the PTO strikes any part of the implement. This can
cause damage to the PTO or implement.
Always transport the rotary cutter at a safe speed. Obey federal, state and local laws when on public highways.
