WARNING
■ Your dealer can supply genuine replacement
blades. Substitute blades may not meet orig-
inal equipment specifications and may be
dangerous.
■ Before working
instructions, securely block up, and check sta-
bility. Secure blocking prevents equipment from
dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydrau-
lic system failure, or mechanical component
failure.

WARNING
■ Service and maintenance work not covered in
OWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualified
dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety pro-
cedures may be required. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or death.
■ Before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or un-
plugging, stop tractor engine, place all controls
in neutral, set park brake, remove ignition key,
and wait for all moving parts to stop.
■ Never perform cleaning, service, or mainte-
nance with engine running.
■ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
■ Before working underneath, disconnect drive-
line from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise
cutter, and pin transport bar in raised posi-
tion. Attach parking jack and lower to ground.
Securely block all four corners of center section
and each wing with jack stands. Blocking up
prevents the cutter from dropping due to hy-
draulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or
mechanical component failure.
■ If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
■ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and
head. Wear a respirator or filter mask where
appropriate.
NOTICE
Crossbar rotation has clockwise rotation on left gearbox
and counterclockwise rotation on the right and center
gearboxes when looking down on cutter. Be sure to in-
stall blade cutting edge to lead in correct rotation.
