INTRODUCTION
This Swingtrim Sickle Bar is designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers. Proper
assembly, maintenance, and operating practices, as described in this manual, will help the owner/operator get
years of satisfactory service from the machine.
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize, and instruct. The Assembly Section instructs the owner/operator in
the correct assembly of the Implement using standard and optional equipment. The Parts Listing section is
designed to familiarize the owner/operator with replaceable parts on the Implement. This section provides
exploded assembly drawings of each mower component illustrating each piece and the corresponding part
number.
Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. The Operation and
Maintenance Sections of the manual train the owner/operator how to work the Implement correctly and attend
to appropriate maintenance. The Trouble Shooting Guide helps diagnose difficulties with implement and offers
solution to the problems.
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. The first section of this manual
includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or
death. Many of the Safety Messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner/operator/dealer
should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this mower
during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen
below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced
