Park Jack Angle Alignment
Refer to Figure 3-1:
The jack mount angle should be adjusted to position the
park jack vertical while supporting the cutter hitch. This
angle will vary depending on the number and size of
stroke control spacers placed on the lift cylinder rod.
1. With cutter hitched to a tractor, lower cutter to storage
height.
2. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 11.
3. Install park jack (#7). See “Park Jack Assembly” on
page 29. Check jack angle. If jack is vertical, skip to
step 9, otherwise, proceed with step 4 below.
4. Remove hex nut (#3), lock washer (#5) and carriage
bolt (#2).
5. Loosen 1" hex nut (#4). Do not remove.
6. Rotate jack mount (#1) to align jack as near vertical
as possible.
7. Replace 1/2"-13 x 1 1/2" GR5 carriage bolt (#2) and
secure with lock washer (#5) and hex nut (#3).
Tighten hex nut to the correct torque.
8. Tighten 1" hex nut (#4) to 645 ft-lbs.
9. If moving cutter, skip to step 10. If unhooking cutter,
see “Unhook Pull-Type” on page 51 for detailed
instructions.
10. If cutter is to be moved, remove park jack (#7) from
hitch frame and attach it to the left-hand wing storage
base. Make sure base of park jack is level with or
lower than the head, especially after the wings are
folded up. See cover picture for correct positioning.
NOTE: If cutter is not hitched securely to a tractor,
support blocks should be placed under the skid
shoes close to the front to support cutter while
aligning the park jack vertically.
NOTE: Refer to decal (#6) and instructions below
for jack alignment and torque value instructions.
