8.2 MOUNTING THE CUTTING HEADS
Review the "OPERATION" section beginning on
Page 9 before mounting the cutting units.
NOTE: All Ransome Jacobsen cutting heads
are backlapped at the factory, but the
bedknife adjustment must be
performed before the unit is put into
use. Refer to the Bedknife Adjustment
Procedure as described in section 8.4
in this manual.
1. Cut all shipping straps holding the front
pull frames in place and position the pull
frames so the upstop bumpers contact the
upstop brackets. Set cutting head drive
motors and hoses away from the lift arms.
2. With the reel enable switch in the "OFF"
position, lower all three cutting head lift
arms and turn off the unit and remove
ignition key.
3. Before mounting the cutting heads, make
sure the latches on the pull frames are in
the opened position (See Fig. 8.2.1).
4. Position the cutting head at the front of
the pull frame. Align the shoulder bolt on
each side of the cutting head, below and
slightly to the front of the slots on the pull
frame. Support the pull frame and roll the
cutting head back slightly until the
shoulder bolt (on the cutting head) is
positioned in the slot.
5. Pull the handle and pivot it to the rear of
the head allowing the bolt head to drop
into the center hole. The latch will pivot
forward and lock under the shoulder bolt
(See Fig.8.2.2). Repeat procedure on
opposite side of the cutting head. Install
the remaining cutting heads using this
procedure.
