3.PTO Installation In some cases it will be necessary to shorten the PTO assembly to match your particular tractor. The following procedure should be used: 1. Check that the driveline is the correct length. The minimum coupling length (overlap) must be no less than 150mm (6 inches) in each work position.The driveline travel must still be about 25mm (1 inch) in the maximum coupling (overlap) position.
PRIOR TO OPERATION BEFORE PUTTING Slasher INTO SERVICE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO OPERATING MUST BE FOLLOWED. SLASHER SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL IN GEAR BOXSAND WITHOUT GREASE IN GREASE FITTINGS. UNIT MUST BE SERVICED BEFORE USING. Fill Gearbox using Multipurpose Gear Oil (85/140). For all Grease Fittings use a high-temp/multipurpose grease.

Preparation Never operate the tractor and Slasher until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Tractor Operator's Manual and each of the messages found on the safety decals on the tractor and Slasher.

Disengage Power Take Off (PTO) and place tractor transmission in neutral before attempting to start engine. Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope or chains can become entangled in the working parts of the Slasher. These objects could then swing outside the housing at a greater velocity than the blades. Such an occurrence is extremely hazardous. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before slashing.
MAINTENANCE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The Cutting Height Adjustment The cutting height can be set by lifting the slasher, undoing the bolts and nuts attaching the adjustable skids and repositioning the skid plates to the required height. When adjusting the skids, ensure the whole wear surface touches the ground to avoid uneven wear.

Make sure there is ample ventilation. Never operate tractor engine in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.

PTO Shaft Maintenance The PTO shaft is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its operating range. A tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to remain stationary on a turning shaft when required. The shaft should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times.
STORAGE After the season’s use, the machine should be thoroughly inspected and prepared for storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary down time at the start of next season. To insure a long, trouble free life, follow the procedure outlined below: 1.
