SAFETY General Safety Instructions and Practices SAFETY A safe and careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions. The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death.
SAFETY Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. (SG-31) Operator Safety Instructions and Practices The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.
SAFETY Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical agent. (SG-22) SAFETY KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement and possible serious injury or death. (SG-24) Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.
SAFETY DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the Tractor and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition. Avoid contact with hot surfaces of the engine or muffler. Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components.
SAFETY Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source of the vibration. If Mower blades are missing or damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities.
SAFETY Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13) Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23) Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.
SAFETY SAFETY Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items discontinue mowing.
SAFETY Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-8) Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.
SAFETY Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
SAFETY Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Practices DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Mower resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and mower failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter.
SAFETY Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while turning. Implements carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury. (S3PT-20) SAFETY Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible.
SAFETY Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH. (STI-6) Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are is installed when using PTO-driven equipment.
SAFETY Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death. (SG-14) Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in motion or while tractor engine is running. Make sure the tractor engine is off before working SAFETY on the Implement.
SAFETY Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES. (SGM-10) DO NOT weld or repair rotating mower components. Welds and other repairs may cause severe vibration and/or component failure resulting in part being thrown from the mower causing serious bodily injury. See your Authorized Dealer for proper repairs.

OPERATION 2. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS OPERATION Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety decals are affixed to the implement and tractor.
OPERATION The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power capacity to lift, pull, and operate the Power Take Off (PTO) at the mower’s rated speed while traveling at a ground speed between 2 and 5 MPH. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not meet the following requirements may cause tractor or mower damage and be a potential danger to the operator and passersby. Tractor Requirements and Capabilities • • • ASAE approved Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seat belt.
OPERATION 2.2 Tractor Safety Devices OPERATION If transporting or operating the tractor and mower near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured. Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards.
OPERATION 2.5 Drawbar-Pull Type Mower For equipment operating at 540 RPM, the tractor drawbar must be positioned at a 14” distance from the hitch point to the PTO shaft end for proper operation and minimal wear to the driveline. OPS-R- 0061 2.6 Front End Weight A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving.
OPERATION OPERATION 2.7 Power Take Off (PTO) Depending on the unit, the mower is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540 or 1000 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the mower and tractor can be determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. Those operating at 540 RPM will have a 6-spline shaft and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a 21-spline shaft.
OPERATION 3.1 Boarding the Tractor Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt around you. Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid all extra riders at all times.
OPERATION 4. STARTING THE TRACTOR The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed. OPERATION Essential Tractor Controls: • Locate the light control lever. • Locate the engine shut off control. • Locate the brake pedals and the clutch. • Locate the PTO control.
OPERATION Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15) 5.1 Connecting the Mower-Lift Type and Semi-Mount Type 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. A96B 03/06 © 2006 Alamo Group Inc. Operation Section 4-11 OPERATION 2. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
OPERATION 5.2 Connecting the Mower-Pull Type 1. OPERATION 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is extended 14” from the PTO shaft end for a 540 RPM mower and 16” for a 1000 RPM unit. Block the mower wheels in place and use the attached parking jack to raise or lower the tongue clevis to the height of the tractor drawbar. The parking jack can be rotated 15 degrees in each direction to obtain a near vertical position.
OPERATION 6. SETTING THE MOWER Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive.
OPERATION OPERATION 8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will raise 2 to 2½” before the tail wheel(s) leaves the ground. This will allow the mower to follow the contour of uneven terrain. Note: Install optional check chains when there is a problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a set height or when a constant pre adjusted cut height is required. See Check Chains in the Assembly Section for this accessory. 6.
OPERATION 6.3 Setting Deck Pitch To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR. Setting Deck Pitch-Lift and Semi-Mount Type 1. Adjust the leveling rod linking the tongue to the rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower in the front than the rear. To lower the front, lengthen the leveling rod and to raise the front, shorten the leveling rod.
OPERATION 8. Driveline Length Check OPERATION Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off.
OPERATION Shorten the driveline profiles as follows: • • • • • • Engagement Check Procedure • With the driveline attached, position the mower to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position. • Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield. • Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves. • Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile.
OPERATION 8.1 Constant Velocity (CV) Driveline OPERATION For mowers equipped with a Constant Velocity (CV) driveline, the maximum turning angle between the tractor and mower must be determined to ensure the joint angle does not over-extend which can cause CV joint damage. Constant Velocity joints enable the driveline to operate smoothly with no vibrations and clattering at angles up to 70°. Angles greater than 80° can result in mechanical damage to the CV joint and mower driveline.
OPERATION 9. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed. This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped and functional, and performing needed repairs. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing parts as soon as noticed.
OPERATION 9.1 Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection/Service OPERATION Refer to the tractor operator’s manual to ensure a complete pre-operation inspection and scheduled service is performed according to the manufacturers recommendations.

Operation Section 4-23 OPERATION Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and excessive wear. Make sure the mower is securely blocked up before crawling beneath. Replace damaged, worn and missing blades as complete sets to maintain rotary balance during operation. Ensure carrier hub nut is tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread.
OPERATION Inspect the Blades daily for abnormal wear.
OPERATION Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at unsafe speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly. Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the safe transport speeds for you and the equipment.
OPERATION OPERATION 10.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate independently allowing single rear wheel braking action or locked together to provide simultaneous rear wheel braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION. Always disengage the tractor differential lock when turning.
OPERATION 10.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency.
OPERATION Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020 OPERATION When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not approach from an angle which is perpendicular or straight on as damage to or over-collapse of the driveline may occur.
OPERATION 11. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE. The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the implement and tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the implement and tractor without complete operating instructions.
OPERATION 11.1 Foreign Debris Hazards OPERATION Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure there are no foreign objects that the mower blades could hit or become entangled with. Remove all foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to remove, mark them clearly and be sure to prevent the mower blades from contacting them. If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the engine speed and disengage the PTO.
OPERATION Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
OPERATION 11.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed OPERATION Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph. Operate the mower at its full rated PTO speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired ground speed.
OPERATION Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed. (SGM-11) Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.
OPERATION Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades. (SRM-7) OPERATION Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to 12” or more on the first pass.
OPERATION 11.6 Shutting Down the Implement To shut down the implement, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Then slow down the implement by reducing the engine speed before disengaging the PTO. Wait for all motion to stop before proceeding to drive or shut down the tractor. 12. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop. Move the mower to a level storage location and lower it to the ground.
OPERATION OPERATION Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15) Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury.
OPERATION 13. MOWER STORAGE Properly preparing and storing the mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures: • • • • • • It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid mower and/or tractor damage.
OPERATION OPERATION Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all mower moving parts to come to a complete stop. Once all mower parts are completely stopped, raise the mower to transport height. NOTE: When raising the mower, maintain 1” clearance between the driveline and mower deck. If additional mower deck height is needed for safe transport, disconnect the driveline from the tractor and secure its end to the mower deck.
OPERATION Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights, headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning properly before proceeding onto public roads. While newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to provide warning signals and operating lighting, most older models are only equipped with operating lights. Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on older tractor models.
OPERATION OPERATION Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes. Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together when operating on public roads. OPS-U- 0023 14.2 Hauling the Tractor and Implement Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, measure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the areas that will be traveled through.
OPERATION Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme tension involved when released has the potential to inflict serious injury. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Possible Cause Remedy MOWER VIBRATES Blade locked back. Drivelines not phased. Blade broken.

MAINTENANCE Before operating your Rotary Cutter, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and trouble free operation. MAINTENANCE Always disengage the PTO before raising the Rotary Cutter for transporting or making adjustments. Lubrication Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
MAINTENANCE GEARBOX The Gearbox has been filled with lubricant to the Test Plug Level prior to shipment. However, you should check the oil level at Test Plug before operating, and frequently thereafter. OFFSET MODEL STANDARD LIFT AND PULL TYPE MODELS Required lubricant is NLGI 000 Grease (P/N 00769030). NOTE: Overfilling the Gearbox will cause pressure to build up and cause Oil Seals to leak.
MAINTENANCE DRIVELINE LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure Mnt-0024 & MntP-R-0026. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication.
MAINTENANCE MAIN CV DRIVELINE SAFETY SHIELD To remove the outer CV cone, remove the locking screws from shield cone. Remove cone over yoke. Remove bearing ring and remove the locking screws from inner shield cone. Turn inner cone to assembly position and remove half shield. Remove bearing ring. FIGURE MNT-R-0038. 1. To assemble outer CV driveline, grease yoke groove and inner profile tube. Attach bearing ring on groove with recesses facing profile tube. Slide on half shield with cone.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE DRIVELINE CLAMP CONE YOKE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Loosen the yoke clamp cone with a 11/16” (17mm) wrench and remove the cone from yoke. Slide yoke onto the shaft and align hole for clamping cone with annular groove of gearbox shaft. Reinstall cone and tighten (75lb-ft. torque). Push and pull the driveline to ensure it is securely attached to the shaft. Regularly check the driveline yoke to ensure a tight connection.
MAINTENANCE BLADE SHARPENING Always sharpen both blades at same time to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern as shown in Figure Mnt-R-0008. Always sharpen blades by grinding. DO NOT heat and pound out edge. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge, but leave a 1/16” blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade. Avoid personal injury. Always block the cutter up to prevent if from falling when the blades and/or carrier are being serviced.
MAINTENANCE BLADE CARRIER INSTALLATION Clean the splines on both the blade carrier and output shaft. Position carrier on the gearbox output shaft and install special washer nut. MAINTENANCE Tighten nut holding blade carrier to minimum 450 ft. pounds, strike the carrier near the hub several times with a heavy hammer to seat the hub. Use a suitable spacer over the nut to prevent damage to the nut and threads. Retighten the nut to 450 ft. pounds. Install cotter pin and spread.
MAINTENANCE BLADE TIMING PROCEDURE 1. 2. 3. 4. SLIP CLUTCH A slip clutch is incorporated in the PTO driveline. It is designed to slip, absorb the shock load, and protect the driveline. After the first hour of operation, the slip clutch should be checked for overheating. After this first check, the slip clutch should be checked weekly or anytime there is overheating. To adjust the slip clutch, tighten the spring bolts 1/8 (maximum) turn at a time.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SEASONAL CLUTCH MAINTENANCE It is important that the clutches slip when an obstacle or load heavier than the clutch setting is encountered. Therefore, if the machine sits outside longer than 30 days and is exposed to rain and/or humid air it is important to make sure that the clutch lining plates are not rusted/corroded together. Before using the cutter use the following procedure to make sure the clutch will slip and give the overload protection required. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
MAINTENANCE MOWER STORAGE Your rotary mower represents an investment from which you should get the greatest possible benefit. Therefore, when the season is over, the cutter should be thoroughly checked and prepared for storage so that a minimum amount of work will be required to put it back into operation for the next season. The following are suggested storage procedures: Thoroughly clean the cutter. Lubricate the cutter as covered in Maintenance Section.

MAINTENANCE Disassembly Instructions for Outer Gearbox MAINTENANCE Note: Drain all oil from Gearbox before disassembly. Mount the Gearbox in a Vice to aid in disassembly and assembly. Step 1. Remove the eight M10 cap screws (#17) (using 14mm socket) from Input Cap (#19). Loosen the Input Cap with a screwdriver and hammer. Then, lifting upward on the end of Input Shaft (#18), force the Input Cap (#19) away from the Gearbox Housing, and remove complete Input Cap and Shaft assembly from the Housing.
MAINTENANCE Step 3. Unlock tab on special lock washer which locks top output shaft nut in place (Figure Mnt-R-0123). Remove lock washer, gear, shims and spacer (Figure 23). Reinstall slotted spanner nut. Remove slotted spanner nut from top end of output shaft. MAINTENANCE Step 4. Remove the 4 M12 Cap Screws (#1) using a 17mm socket, then remove the Output Cap (#2) and Gaskets (#3). Figure Mnt-R-0124. A96B 03/06 © 2006 Alamo Group Inc.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Step 5 Insert long punch into top end of output shaft and drive shaft, bearing cones and cups out of lower housing (Figure Mnt-R-0125). Note! Drive shaft until lower bearing cup is out of housing. Step 6 Remove slotted spanner nut from top end output shaft. Remove all parts except top bearing cup - which should be loose in center housing cavity but not able to be removed. Using torch cut top bearing cup so it can easily be removed (Figure Mnt-R-0126).
MAINTENANCE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GEARBOX Step 1. Install bearing cups into lower end of main housing. Using appropriate tool, install first cup, then spacer, and then last cup. Note: Apply Locktite #270 to cups before installing. Note direction of cups when installing. See crossection view Figure Mnt-R-0127. MAINTENANCE Step 2. Apply Locktite #270 to cone bore and press bearing cone on output shaft against shoulder at lower end. Insert shaft assembly into bottom of main housing.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Step 4. Install nut and tighten snug against washer. Strike each end of shaft with hammer to seat all parts. Check rolling torque of output shaft. Figure MNT-R-0129. Rolling torque should be 10 to 15 inch pounds. Tighten slotted adjusting nut to obtain this setting. Note: Never loosen adjusting nut to obtain rolling torque setting. If torque setting is to high and nut must be loosened and all of step 4 must be repeated. Bend tab on special washer into slot in adjusting nut.
MAINTENANCE Step 5 Place output cap on the output shaft and check the gap between housing and cap to see how many gaskets will be required. Remove the output cap and install the gaskets. A small bead of sealant should be applied on top of the gaskets and around the flange of the cap. Reinstall the cap and gasket assembly on the Housing, install the 4 Bolts and tighten them to a torque of 75 to 79 Foot Pounds. Figure Mnt-R-0130.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Step 8 Install shims if they were present at disassembly against back side gear. Total thickness for shims used on front and back side of input gear is.040.” Another method to determine amount of shims to place against back side is to measure thickness of shims on opposite side of gear and subtract total from.040. Never use shim less than.012 thick.
MAINTENANCE Gear Backlash Adjustment Step 11 Gear backlash adjustment is accomplished by moving shims from front to back gear side or vise versa. To increase backlash move.012” thick shim from back to front side of gear. Note: Front side of gear is face toward center of gear box. If.012” shim is not present but a.020” shim is replace the.020” shim with two.012” Shims and then make adjustment. To decrease backlash move Shims the opposite direction.
