Product Issue: Final Release

Situation:

Important Information

When installing 2015 or older, or some early 2016 Flex

1800/1820/2100/2120 cutting units on MY 2016 Flex 1820/2120 traction

units, the roll frame bolts may interfere with the cutting unit pitch arm tabs.

This interference will be apparent when securing the cutting units to the roll

frame. See Figures 1 and 2 for specific information about where the

potential interference points exist.

Correction:

Modify the older style pitch arms to gain clearance for the new roll

frame bolts on the 2016 traction unit.

Action

Required:

Fix as Fail

Mount the cutting unit and inspect for interference. If interference exists,

remove cutting unit pitch arm material by grinding a 45-degree chamfer

(2.28 mm/.090 inch) to both pitch arm tabs around the head of the fastener

as shown in Figures 1 and 2. This will allow adequate clearance around

the fastener to allow the fastener head to sit flush against the pitch arm tab

and properly secure the cutting unit to the traction unit.
