MOUNTING THE CUTTING HEADS _________________________________________________

Review the "OPERATION" section before mounting the cutting units.
NOTE: All Ransomes 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.
CAUTION
Take care when handling the cutting
heads. Injury may result from contact
with the sharp edges of the reel blades.
1. Cut all shipping straps holding the front pull frames in
place and position the pull frames so the up stop
bumpers contact the up stop 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. Align the cutting head at the front of the yoke frame.
Secure cutting head to either side of the yoke frame
using the shoulder bolt (A) on each side of the cutting
head.
4. To remove the cutting head, undo shoulder bolts,
applied in step 3.
