To attach the RC10M Cutter, align the cutter's hitch with the tractor's three-point hitch. Secure it using the appropriate pins and ensure all connections are tight. Refer to the manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.
It's recommended to inspect the cutter before each use, checking for loose bolts or damaged parts. Clean the blades and lubricate moving parts every 20 hours of operation. Perform a comprehensive maintenance check every 100 hours.
Uneven cutting can be caused by dull blades or improper cutter height. Sharpen the blades and adjust the height settings to ensure even contact with the ground. Check the manual for blade sharpening instructions.
Always wear protective gear, ensure all guards are in place, and keep bystanders at a safe distance. Turn off the tractor before making any adjustments or clearing blockages.
To replace the blades, safely lower the cutter, disconnect it from the tractor, and follow the blade removal instructions in the manual. Use the correct tools and wear gloves to prevent injuries.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced blades or debris caught in the cutter. Inspect and clean the cutter, and ensure the blades are balanced and securely attached.
While the cutter can operate in damp conditions, it's not recommended to use it in excessively wet or muddy areas, as it can damage the turf and affect cutter performance.
Adjust the cutting height by raising or lowering the cutter's skid shoes. Consult the operator's manual for guidance on adjusting the height to suit different terrains.
Use a high-quality, multi-purpose grease for lubricating the cutter's moving parts. Check the manual for specific recommendations and lubrication points.
Regular maintenance, including sharpening the blades, ensuring proper blade tension, and maintaining the correct PTO speed, can significantly improve cutting performance.
