STORAGE
Your rotary cutter 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:
1. Thoroughly clean the cutter.
2. Lubricate the cutter as covered in
Maintenance Section.
3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the
recommended torque.
4. Check the cutter for worn or damaged parts.
Make replacements immediately.
5. Place driveline in storage position resting on
bracket.
6. Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the
cutter housing resting on blocks.
7. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary
to prevent rust and maintain the appearance
of the cutter.
PROPER TORQUE FOR FASTENERS
The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to
this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are
assigned in manual text.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE IN FOOT POUNDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE MANUAL*
NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine
oil. They do not apply if special graphited or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are
used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
