In order to reduce accidents and enhance the safe operation of mowers, Schulte, in cooperation with other industry
manufacturers has developed the AEM/FEMA Industrial and Agricultural Mower Safety Practices video and guide
book.
The video will familiarize and instruct mower-tractor operators in safe practices when using industrial and
agricultural mowing equipment. It is important that Every Mower Operator be educated in the operation of their
mowing equipment and be able to recognize the potential hazards that can occur while operating a mower. This
video, along with the mower operator’s manual and the warning messages on the mower, will significantly assist in
this important education.
Your Authorized Schulte Dealer may have shown this video and presented you a DVD Video when you purchased
your mower. If you or any mower operator have not seen this video, Watch the Video, Read this Operator’s
Manual, and Complete the Video Guidebook before operating your new mower. If you do not understand any of
the instructions included in the video or operator’s manual or if you have any questions concerning safety of
operation, contact your supervisor, dealer or Schulte.
If you would like a VHS video tape of the video, please e-mail AEMVideo@alamo-group.com or Fax AEM VHS
Video at (830) 372-9529 or mail in a completed copy of the form on the back of this page to AEM VHS Video 1502
E Walnut Street, Seguin, TX 78155. and request the VHS video version. Please include your name, mailing
address, mower model and serial number.
Every operator should be trained for each piece of equipment (Tractor and Mower), Understand the intended use,
and the potential hazards before operating the equipment.
The information and material listed above along with this Operator’s Manual can assist you in meeting the OSHA
requirement for Operator annual training.

To the Owner/Operator/Dealer
This Operator's Manual is an integral part of the safe operation of this machine and must be maintained with the
implement at all times. A Manual canister is provided on the implement where this manual can be properly stored.
If you lose or damage this manual a free replacement manual can be obtained from an authorized Schulte dealer or
by down loading the manual from the Schulte website www.schulte.ca
BEFORE YOU START! READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the information provided in this manual, the AEM
Mower Safety manual and the tractor operator's manual carefully to learn how to operate and service your machine
properly. Failure to do so could result in personal injury to you and bystanders. All implements with moving parts
are potentially hazardous. Every effort has been made to ensure that the machine is safe but operators must avoid
engaging in unsafe practices and follow the written instructions provided. The manufacturer has designed this
implement to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached to minimize the chance of accidents.
SAFETY FIRST. Completely read and understand the safety section of this manual before operating this
equipment. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment who has not fully read and understood this manual.
Contact your Dealer to explain any instructions that you do not fully understand.
The care you give your Schulte Implement will greatly determine your satisfaction with its performance and its
service life. Carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual to provide you with a thorough understanding
of your new implement and its intended use and service requirements.
All references made in this manual to right, left, front, rear, top or bottom are as viewed facing the direction of
forward travel with the implement properly attached to the tractor.
Replacement Parts information is located in a separate Parts Manual. Schulte mowers use balanced and matched
system components for blade carriers, blades, cuttershafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drivetrain components,
and bearings. These parts are made and tested to Schulte specifications. Non-genuine “will fit” parts do not
consistently meet these specifications. The use of “will fit” parts may reduce mower performance, void warranties,
and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Schulte mower parts for economy and safety.
For future reference, record your Schulte product model number and serial number.

INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to have you as a Schulte customer. Your Rotary Cutter has been carefully designed with care
and built with quality materials by skilled workers to give maximum service with minimum down time. This
manual is provided to give you the necessary operating and maintenance instructions for keeping your rotary
cutter in top operating condition. Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime
losses. Please read this manual thoroughly. Understand what each control is for and how to use it.
Schulte typically offers three types of shielding to protect the operator, passerby, livestock, and property from
thrown objects... deflectors, single chain guards, and double chainguards. Shielding should be selected based
on the intended use of the mower. Double chainguards or deflectors should be used for highway, right-of-way,
parks or greenbelt mowing or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within
300 feet of the mower. Chainguards are more durable, provide a longer service life and require less
maintenance and replacement than deflectors. Single chainguards may be sufficient for agriculture and other
mower use only where passersby or property are not within 300 feet of the mower during operation.
No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. The possibility of injury and property damage from
this hazard can be substantially reduce by selecting proper shielding, maintaining the mower and shielding in
good operational condition, inspecting the area for foreign debris before mowing, operating the mower at a
minimum cutting height of 4", and keep unprotected persons at a minimum distance of 300 feet from the
mower at all times during operation.
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. Observe all safety precautions
decaled on the machine and noted throughout the manual for safe operation of implement. If any assistance or
additional information is needed, contact your authorized Schulte dealer. The owner/operator/dealer should
know and understand the Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this
cutter 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
when operating this machine.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH OR
VERY SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result in MINOR
INJURY.
Identifies special instructions or procedures that, if not strictly observed, could result in
damage to, or destruction of the machine, attachments or the environment.

SCHULTE FX-107 ROTARY CUTTER
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Schulte FX-107 rotary cutters are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These cutters are
designed to cut grass, weeds, crop stalks, brush and other vegetation up to 2” diameter. The cutter is equipped
with protective deflectors and chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the cutter by the blades,
however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, deflectors, and chains equipped on the unit must
be maintained on the mower in good operational condition.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every
reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the
cutter, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the cutter if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are within
300 feet of the unit.
This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper cutter
use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in
explaining the operation of rotary cutter and are not necessarily of a FX-107 cutter. Some pictures may show
shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER OPERATE this implement without all shields in place and in good
operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the cutter and tractor operation and all associated
safety practices before operating the cutter and tractor. Proper operation of the cutter, as detailed in this
manual, will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use.
IMPORTANT: To avoid mower damage, retorque all bolts after the first 10 hours of operation.
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety Messages. Serious injury or
death may occur unless care is taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the
Safety Messages. Always use good common sense to avoid hazards. (SG-2)

OPERATION
3.3 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing
conditions, the FX-107 cutter requires a tractor with at least 60 HP(45 kw). Operating the mower with a tractor
that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine.
3.4 3-Point Hitch-Lift Type Mower
The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at least
2075 lbs(941 kg). if attaching a lift type cutter
FX-107 lift type cutters can attach to tractor’s with
CAT II or CAT III hitch. Refer to the tractor
operator’s manual for the category of the tractor
used. If the hitch does not conform to ASABE Cat I
or Cat II dimensions, the mower may not fit or raise
properly. Consult an authorized dealer for possible
modification procedures to mount nonconforming
hitches.
Use the correct hitch pins for the hitch category
being used. For a Cat II hitches require 1-1/8” lower
and 1” upper. Cat III hitches require 1-7/16” lower
and 1-1/4” upper diameter hitch pins.
CAT III Implement / Hitch Specification
Width from outside to outside A-frame...............38”
Quick Hitch width inside lug to lug .................. N/A”
Height from bottom hitch pin to top pin.............. 27”
Lower pin diameter ......................................1-7/16”
Upper pin diameter .......................................1-1/4”
Linch pin diameter ....................................... 21/32”
3.5 Drawbar-Pull Type Mower
For equipment operating at 540 RPM, the tractor
drawbar must be positioned at a 14” distance from
the hitch point to the PTO shaft end for proper
operation and minimal wear to the driveline.
OPERATION
FX-107 07/19 Operation Section 4-7
© 2019 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
If attaching the mower tongue clevis to a 3-point hitch drawbar supported by the lower lift arms, the attaching
point must be extended past the main bar to allow for turning without binding the clevis and bar. Lift arm
stabilizers must be used with this type of drawbar to prevent the mower from swaying from side to side.
3.7 Power Take Off (PTO)
FX-107 mowers are designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a
combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The tractor PTO operating speed can be determined by the
number of splines on the PTO output shaft. Those operating at 540 RPM will have a 6-spline 1-3/8” diameter
shaft and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a 21-spline, 1-3/8” diameter or 20-spline, 1-3/4” diameter
shaft. Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for instructions to change PTO speeds on models that operate at
more than one speed.
If operating an older model tractor where the tractor’s transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an over-
running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the mower. An authorized
tractor dealer can provide the over-running clutch and its installation if needed.
OPERATION
FX-107 07/19 Operation Section 4-8
© 2019 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor
PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in
excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also
change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious
bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.
(S3PT-14)
Never operate the Tractor and Mower if the Implement input driveline is directly connected
to the Tractor transmission. Tractor braking distances can be substantially increased by
the momentum of the rotating Mower blades driving the Tractor transmission even though
the Tractor clutch has been disengaged. Install an over running clutch between the Tractor
PTO and the Mower driveline to prevent this potentially dangerous situation. (S3PT-16)
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped. (SG-12)
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they
have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in
proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large
enough to reach and operate the controls easily. (SG-11)

3. Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the rear of
the mower is approximately 3/4” lower that the
front.
4. If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch
drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link
check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to
prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from
side to side. Never raise the 3-point lift with the
mower attached as catastrophic driveline
damage will occur.
7.3 Setting Deck Pitch
Mower should be operated with the deck
approximately 3/4" HIGHER IN THE FRONT THAN
THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a
more even cut and improved distribution of the cut
material.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper
adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Re-
tighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been
set.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and
precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the
weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while
driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23)
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before
operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control
the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance

Raising the Mower
9.5 Starting the Tractor
The procedure to start the tractor is model specific.
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting
procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an
authorized dealer if the starting procedure is
unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the
lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before
starting the tractor. OPS-U-0033
9.6 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating
condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate
independently allowing single rear wheel braking
action or locked together to provide simultaneous
rear wheel braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND
OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS
SHOULD BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE
THE MOST EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
Always disengage the tractor differential lock when
turning. When engaged the differential lock will
prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal cutting conditions, locking the differential
provides no benefit and should not be used. OPS-
U- 0013
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.
When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases; use
extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always
use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around
you and watch out for the other guy.

OPERATION
Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever-lift type
or hydraulic remote lever-pull type, raise the mower
off the ground about 6”, or just high enough to clear
any ground obstacles. When raising the mower,
make sure all connection points are securely
attached and at least 1” clearance is maintained
between the driveline and the deck. If necessary,
place an upper lift stop on the 3-point hitch control
lever to limit the height the mower can be raised to
avoid driveline damage.
9.7 Driving the Tractor and Mower
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering
control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the
operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop
the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires are
frozen to the ground, reverse the tractor out to prevent overturning.
Perform turns with the tractor and mower at slow
speeds to determine how the tractor with the mower
handles a turn. Determine the safe operating speed
to maintain proper control of the tractor when
making turns. When turning with an attached rear
implement, the overall length of the working unit is
greatly increased. Allow additional clearance for the
mower to swing when turning.
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go
up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements
move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make
certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels
to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage
or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the
tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
(S3PT-02)
OPERATION
FX-107 07/19 Operation Section 4-28

OPERATION
Do not operate this unit at full PTO speed when making a turn greater than 45. A serious
driveline failure or PTO shaft failure could result. Always reduce engine speed when making
sharp Turns.
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at
safe speeds, especially when operating over rough
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning
corners. Tractor wheel tread spacing should be
increased when working on inclines or rough
ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep
slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going
downhill. DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
9.8 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines
When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up
sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline
inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its
maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid
(driveline is at its extreme shortest length). This type
of abusive operation can cause serious damage to
the tractor and mower drive by pushing the PTO into
the tractor and through the support bearings or
downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off.
Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing
may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the
operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020
OPERATION
FX-107 07/19 Operation Section 4-29
© 2019 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not
approach from an angle which is perpendicular or
straight on as damaged to over collapse of the
driveline may occur.
When crossing such terrain, the implement should
be fully lowered for a lower center of gravity and
added stability. OPS-R-0021
Inclines and ditches should be approached along a
line which is at an angle as shown. This type of
path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of
the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient
is so steep that such an approach increases the
possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate
crossing path.
When operating the tractor and mower across
slopes and inclines, through ditches, and other
uneven terrain conditions, it is important to maintain
sufficient deck to ground clearance. Blade contact
with the ground may cause soil, rocks and other
debris to be thrown out from under the mower
resulting in possible injury and/or property damage.
Ground contact also produces a severe shock load
on the mower drive and to the mower blades
resulting in possible damage and premature wear.
OPS-R-0022
OPERATION
FX-107 07/19 Operation Section 4-30

OPERATION
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before
mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent
machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that
cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the
operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object.
Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced
before resuming mowing. (SGM-05)
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
(SGM-06)
OPERATION

OPERATION
In case of an Emergency, Shut down tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all rotating motion to
stop. Place the tractor in park position, engage the parking brake and remove the key before leaving the
operator’s seat.
10.1 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure
there are no foreign objects that the mower blades
could hit or become entangled with. Remove all
foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to
remove, mark them clearly and be sure to prevent
the mower blades from contacting them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the
mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the
engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for all
mower rotating motion to stop, then raise the
mower and move the tractor and implement off the
object. Inspect the area and remove, or mark the
location of the debris. Inspect the condition of the
mower and make any needed repairs immediately.
Make sure the blades are not damaged and the
carrier is balanced before resuming operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and
only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS
in the raised position. If the tractor or mower hits a
tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement
could throw you off of the seat and under the
tractor and/or mower. The seat belt is your best
protection from falling off the tractor and the ROPS
provides protection from being crushed during a
tractor roll-over. OPS-R-0023

10.3 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. Set the tractor
engine speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to the on position,
and slowly increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at 540 RPM. If you hear unusual noises or see
or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the mower to determine the cause of the
noise or vibration and repair the abnormality.
Be sure to never operate the cutter with the PTO storage support in its upright position. Swing the support
down, and out of the way before beginning (Pull type units)
Constant Velocity joints may be operated at angles up to 80 deg, but only for brief periods of time (during turns)
and never continuously. (Pull type units)
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing
objects for great distances (300 ft (100 m) or more) and causing serious
injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 300 Feet (100 m) UNLESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed and in good, workable
condition;
-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the ground without exposed
Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material such as rocks, cans,
glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could be struck
by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an
intermediate height, inspected, closely with any remaining debris being removed, and
mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce
wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, reduce streaking, and
make the final cut more uniform). (SRM-01)
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard
and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from
the Blades. (SRM-07)
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the decks are securely blocked up. (SGM-09)

Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause
Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death. (SG-26)
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The
correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of
cut. Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph). Use slow mowing speeds
when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided. (SGM-07)

OPERATION
If a material blockage occurs in the inlet or exhaust areas of the mower, SHUT DOWN
TRACTOR ENGINE, disengage the PTO and wait for all rotating motion to stop. Place the
tractor in park position, engage the parking brake and remove the key before leaving the
operator’s seat. Clear the blockage before proceeding with mowing. Be sure to keep feet
and hands clear of the mower blades. If you raise the mower or mower wing to access the
blockage, engage the wing lock up latch and securely block up the mower before placing
and parts of the body underneath the mower.
Only mow where you have good visibility and can clearly see the ground and surrounding
area that you are working in. Reduce speed when vision of the area is reduced or if you are
avoiding foreign debris.
When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the
mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the mower
entirely while the blades are turning. If the mower
must be raised higher than 12” from ground level,
disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all mower
rotation to come to a complete stop before
proceeding to raise the mower.
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
300 feet (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions,
power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items
discontinue mowing. (SGM-1)
Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no
persons behind the mower and use extreme care when maneuvering in reverse. Mow only
at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower.
Never mow an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be
mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform
cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to
12” or more on the first pass.
Then lower the mower to the desired height and
mow the vegetation a second time. If possible,
select a mowing pattern that is at a 90 degree angle
to the first pass to reduce streaking and provide a
more even cut.
Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,
power lines, and other overhead obstacles and
solid ground objects while you are operating. Use

10.6 Shutting Down the Implement
To shut down attached mower head, first bring the
tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM
to idle then disengage cutterhead. The mower head
will come to a complete stop within a suitable
amount of time. Do not engage or disengage the
cutterheads at a high RPM unless there is an
emergency situation.
Park the tractor on a level surface, place the
transmission in park or neutral and apply the
parking brake, lower the attached implement to the
ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all motion to come to a complete stop
before exiting the tractor. OPS-U- 0016_G
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15)
OPERATION
FX-107 07/19 Operation Section 4-37
© 2019 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be
disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop.
Move the mower to a level storage location and
lower it to the ground. If it is not resting securely on
the ground, block the mower up securely before
attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.
Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from
under the mower and clear of any pinch points
caused by the tractor hitch arms and mower pins.
Lift Type Mower-To disconnect the mower, first
extend the tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove
tension on the top link hitch pin. When the pin is
loose and easy to rotate, remove the pin from the
mower. Next remove both lower hitch pins.
Pull Type Mower- To disconnect the mower, first
relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the control
lever back and forth several times. Lower the
parking jack and raise the mower until the tongue
clevis in no longer resting on the tractor drawbar
and is supported solely by the jack. Make sure that
the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or
supported by a block. Then remove the hitch pin. If
a hydraulic cylinder was used, remove its hose end
from the tractor port and secure it to the mower to
prevent contact with dirt.
After disconnecting the hitch points, remove the
mower driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay the
driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the
driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall into
mud or dirt, which can contaminate the bearing and
shorten the life of the driveline.
OPERATION

OPERATION
When disconnecting from the tractor for short period of time, swing the PTO support upright and lay the PTO
driveline into the cradle. When storing the mower for an extended period of time, it is recommended the
driveline be removed from the machine and stored inside.
When connecting the cutter to the tractor, ensure the PTO support is swung down, and out
of the way.
12. MOWER STORAGE
It is recommended that the Cutter be stored with the center section and both wings fully lowered to ground
level. If the cutter is stored with the wings in the raised position, select a level area and install wing transport
braces to prevent the wings from falling BEFORE disconnecting the cutter hitch from the tractor.
Properly preparing and storing the mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
Clean any dirt or debris off the mower deck.
• Scrape any accumulated cuttings off the under
side of the deck. Coat the deck underside and
any other exposed metal surfaces with oil to
prevent rusting.
• If the mower is left unused for an extended
period of time, install the transport pins.
Disconnect the hydraulic cylinders at the rod
end and retract the rods for storage.
Retracting the cylinder rods will prevent
rusting, ensure that the cylinders are full of oil,
and relieve pressure in the hydraulic circuit. If
the cylinder rods are not retracted smear
grease over exposed hydraulic cylinder rods.
• Apply grease to exposed threaded adjustment
screws. These include the cylinder depth stop
collar and the frame leveling rod.
• Install the hitch jack on the jack mount located
on the outer hitch frame.
• Lubricate all mower grease points and fill
gearbox oil levels as detailed in the
maintenance section.
• Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water,
dirt and other contaminants.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary
to prevent rust and maintain the appearance
of the mower.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
It is critical that the driveline clutch slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid mower and/or
tractor damage. If the mower sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or humid
air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or corrosion. If
the mower has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each mowing season, and any time it is
suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Slip
Clutches of the maintenance section in this manual. OPS-R-0032_J

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10)
Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the
tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all
mower moving parts to come to a complete stop.
Once all mower parts are completely stopped, raise
the mower to transport height. NOTE: When
raising the mower, maintain at least 1” clearance
between the driveline and mower deck. If additional
mower deck height is needed for safe transport,
disconnect the driveline from the tractor and secure
its end to the mower deck. The mower can then be
raised to the maximum lift height. . OPS-R-0033_E
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of
the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run
to have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower
driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure
the driveline to the mower deck to prevent driveline
damage or loss during transport. OPS-R-0034_C

Tire Size and Matching Requirements
Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the
mower will not be transported for long distances or at high speeds.
Foam Filled Aircraft Tires are also designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required.
These tires provide better service where transporting is frequent and high speeds can be avoided.
Note: Overheating a foam filled aircraft tire will cause the foam to liquefy and leak from the tire. The liquid will
not turn back to foam when tire is cooled down and your tire will once again be prone to punctures.
Pneumatic Aircraft Tires and Pneumatic Implement Tires are ideal for frequent long distance towing,
however they are not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions
that could damage tires.
All tires will generate heat during transport, some more than others depending upon tire construction. The
amount of heat being generated by a tire depends on the speed of travel and the load on the tire. The amount
of heat build up in that tire is dependent upon the travel time. Caution must be taken to prevent any tire from
overheating. The tires should be checked periodically during transport. If the tires are beginning to overheat
they should be allowed to cool and the travel speed should be lowered.
Faster than recommended transport speeds during delivery of a machine to a customer or general transport
from job site to job site can cause serious tire damage and potential failure.
Please see chart below for tire speed ratings and recommended inflation pressures.

13.2 Transporting on Public Roadways
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and mower on public roadways. The tractor
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive
drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them. Check your side
view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the tractor’s slower
speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than the tractor tire
width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations. (SG-6)
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and implement on a public
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020

other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply
maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching
and removing the securing devices as the extreme
tension involved when released has the potential to
inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make
occasional stops to check that the tractor and
implement have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If during

BLADES
Blade and Blade Carriers
Inspect blades daily. Blades should be free of deep chips, cracks or abnormal bends.
Blades should always be replaced in pairs. Blades of different weights may cause serious
imbalance which can result in damage to the gearbox. Damage caused by unbalanced
blades can make the machine dangerous to operate, increasing the risk of a broken
gearbox lower shaft. Never weld or modify blades. Welding and other modifications such
as straightening the blade after it has been bent can severely reduce the strength of the
blade, increasing the likelihood that a piece breaks and can be thrown from the machine.
DO NOT SHARPEN BLADES. Sharpening blades can reduce the strength of the blade,
increasing the likelihood that a piece breaks and can be thrown from the machine. Should
the blades become dull, replace them. Blades should always be replaced in pairs.
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. Blade and/or blade carrier removal should be done only with
the tractor engine shut off, key removed, in neutral, parking brake on, PTO disengaged,
PTO input shaft removed, and the cutter blocked in the raised position.Mnt-R-0003
Blade Installation
When installing blades, use new blade bolts and blade nuts. Always replace blades in matched sets. A 1-5/8"
socket can be used to torque blade bolts to 600 foot pounds dry assembly. You will need at least 3 feet of
leverage to be able to do this. Check blade bolt torque after the first 10 hours of operation.
Use only original equipment blades on this cutter. They are made of special heat treated
alloy steel. Substitute blades may not meet specifications and may be dangerous.
Retighten blade bolts daily. Access holes are provided on the deck of the cutter to facilitate this.After installing
new blades or blade bolts ensure that blades are free swinging and that there is 1" to 1-1/2" (25-38 mm)of
free up and down motion at the tip of the blade. Mnt-R-0004
Blade Carrier Removal
Remove cotter pin and loosen slotted nut on gearbox shaft. Loosen but do not remove the nut until the blade
carrier is loosened. Use a suitable two-jaw gear puller to pull carrier off tapered gearbox shaft. If gear puller is
not available use a long bar inserted through the bolt access hole, striking the long bar with a sledge hammer.
Rotate blade carrier 180° and repeat process until the blade carrier is loosened. Mnt-R-0005
MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE
Blade Carrier Installation
Clean the taper and splines on both the blade
carrier and output shaft. Castle nuts and cotter
pins are used to tighten the cutter pans to the
splined shaft on the cutter gearboxes. A cone
washer is used between the nut and the gearbox
main shaft. The washer must cone down towards
the nut. A flat washer may be required if the hole
on the shaft and the slots on the castle nut do not
line up.
The slots on the underside of the blade carrier
must line up with the hole on the gearbox shaft so
the cotter key can be inserted. To aid in alignment,
mark a line on the bottom of the gearbox shaft,
parallel with the cotter key hole.
Rotate the blade carrier until the slots are parallel
to the mark. The pan may need to be spun 180° so
the splines match.
A 2-1/16" socket can be used to torque the M36
nut to 600 ft-lbs(814 Nm) dry assembly. Strike the
carrier on the hub several times with a heavy
hammer to seat the hub. Use a suitable spacer
over the nut to prevent damage to the nut and
threads. Retighten the nut to 600 ft-lbs(814 Nm)
dry assembly. Install new cotter pins when
retightening these nuts.
It is important that the retaining nut be checked
after a few hours of operation then periodically.
Retightened if necessary.
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. DO NOT work under cutter without support blocks to keep
the frame from falling. Mnt-R-0006

SLIP CLUTCHES
Each of the drivelines on the Schulte cutter is equipped with a slip clutch.
Everyone of these slip clutches are pre-set and run-in by the Schulte supplier, so they should not be adjusted
by the dealer or end user.
After an extended period (4 to 6 months) of not being used, the clutches should be taken apart to ensure all
parts are movable and all surfaces are free of rust.
To service the clutch and/or change the linings, follow these steps:
Disassembly
1. Remove the tapered pin.
2. Loosen the perimeter bolts on the clutch evenly
and progressively to uniformly reduce the load
on the spring.

3. Separate the parts and inspect for signs of
corrosion, cracks and rust.
4. Clean the parts using brake cleaner and a wire
brush.
5. Inspect the thickness of the friction linings and
replace them if they are less than 2.5 mm in
thickness (new friction linings are 3.2 mm
thick).
Reassembly
MAINTENANCE
FX107 07/19 Maintenance Section 5-13

MAINTENANCE
1. Install the bushing (3) in the flange yoke (2).
2. Reassemble the clutch as shown in the
diagram (Figure Mnt-R-0292). Be careful not to
contaminate any of the internal parts of the
clutch with grease or oil from hands or tools
during reassembly.
3. Install the perimeter bolts and tighten the nuts
uniformly to increase the spring load evenly.
4. Tighten the nuts evenly all way around until the
spring plate makes contact with the indicator
ring. Do not compress the indicator ring.
5. Back off the nuts slightly to allow the indicator
ring to move. This will ensure that there is not
pressure on the indicator ring, and the proper
torque is applied to the spring plate.
6. Reinsert the tapered pin into the hub.
The clutch will now have approximately 60% to 70%
of its torque value. This torque value will increase to
its intended value as the clutch slips during
operation. Care should be taken to avoid prolonged
slipping during the run-in period.
The FT clutch utilizes Belleville spring to provide a
constant torque setting during the life of the friction
lining. The spacer/ indicator ring ensures the
accuracy of the spring tension setting.

HUBS & SPINDLES
Check hubs weekly for bearing play and condition of seal.
Greasing and Installation
It is recommended that hubs are dismantled, cleaned and repacked every year. Use the diagram and following
instructions for maintaining the wheel hubs. Whenever a worn or damaged seal is replaced the bearing
assembly should be cleaned and repacked with a good grade of wheel grease.
Always wear protective gloves when handling grease.
1. Using a grease packer, pack both roller bearings with a good grade of wheel grease. The bearings should
be thoroughly coated with grease. Spread grease on the outside of the bearing with your gloved finger.
Ensure that no dirt or filings contact the grease or the bearings.
2. Pack the inside of the hub completely with grease.
3. Apply grease on both races.
4. Install the large bearing into the back of the hub and rotate the bearing several times.
5. Install the dust/grease seal using the right size seal driver. Spread a film of grease on the dust seal rubber
and on the axle where the seal fits.
6. Position the hub on the axle and firmly push into place then pull hub towards you about 1". Slowly rotate
hub while gently pushing the hub back onto the axle.
7. Check dust seal to ensure seal rubber is positioned correctly.
8. Install the small or outer bearing.
9. Install the axle washer and castle nut on the axle.
10. Fill dust cap with grease before re-assembling.

MAINTENANCE
Tightening Instructions for 517 & 511 Hubs
Proper setting for the tapered roller bearings is described in the following procedure. Always use a new cotter
pin when making adjustments to the hubs.
1. Tighten the castle nut to 20 foot pounds while turning hub. Then back the nut off 1/2 of a turn. Spin the hub
2 or 3 times. While slowly turning hub clockwise, finger tighten the castle nut until castle nut notch lines up
with hole in axle. If notch will not line up, back off nut to next notch.
2. Put the cotter pin in the axle hole. Before bending the cotter pin, spin the hub. The hub should free wheel
from 1 to 2 full turns.
3. If the hub spins the right amount, finish installing the cotter pin by bending the ends.
4. Coat the inside of the dust cap with a thin coat of grease by using your finger. Then install on hub using the
right dust cap driver.
5. Wipe off all excess grease from hub and axle.
There should not be any drag noticed when spinning a tire installed on a hub. If the axle nut
is too tight, the rollers of the wheel bearings will remove the grease from the bearing races,
decreasing the life of the bearings.
TIRES
Periodically check tire pressure. Aircraft tires should be inflated to 42 PSI.
To remove tires for repair or replacement, install the transport lock links and pin, or block up the cutter. Relieve
hydraulic pressure Shut off tractor, apply parking brake and disengage PTO. Loosen the wheel bolts with
wrench. DO NOT remove them. Use a hydraulic jack to lift the back end of the cutter frame near the wheel
standard. Securely block the wheel standard so the tire can spin freely before removing the wheel bolts.
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. DO NOT work under cutter without support blocks to keep the
frame from falling.
HYDRAULICS
Periodically clean dirt and debris from around the hydraulic cylinder.
Inspect hydraulic hose, fittings and cylinder for wear or leaks. Use a piece
of cardboard or wood rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.
Replace if necessary.
Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be sure all connections
are tight and that the hoses are not damaged.
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)

NUTS & BOLTS
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness after the first 8 hours of operation then weekly. Check the condition of
cotter pins, roll pins and other fasteners weekly and replace if necessary.
Bolt Grades and Torque
When replacing damaged bolts use only plated Grade 5 bolts unless otherwise specified. Use only bolts of
the correct length [Refer to the "Parts Manual" ]. Do not replace lock nuts with nuts and lockwashers. Use

mantener en buenas condiciones de reparación y se deben instalar, excepto en zonas donde personas,
vehículos, ganado u otros bienes no corran peligro por objetos arrojados, y en los casos en que dichos
equipos de seguridad impedirían un desempeño razonable de la cortadora en su tarea asignada.
• LÍNEAS DE CONDUCCIÓN: Me he asegurado de que todos los protectores de líneas de conducción, de caja
de engranajes y otros están en buenas condiciones de reparación y firmemente sujetados para prevenir
lesiones por enredo u objetos arrojados.
• MÁQUINAS HIDRÁULICAS: He explicado la necesidad de usar aceite hidráulico limpio, cambiar los filtros
según las instrucciones, detener filtraciones, prevenir daños por operar con aceite demasiado caliente, cuidar
las mangueras, usar mangueras del tipo correcto, mantener la presión operativa especificada y prevenir el
posible riesgo de que el aceite penetre en la piel.
• IMPLEMENTOS PLEGABLES: He explicado que no es posible proteger contra objetos arrojados cuando el
cabezal está elevado del suelo y que el operador es responsable de verificar que no existan personas en las
inmediaciones. He explicado que el brazo o cabezal de cortadora elevado puede entrar en contacto con
obstrucciones elevados y dañar cables y líneas telefónicas, y posiblemente causar lesiones. He explicado que
el brazo o cabezal extendido, o el brazo retraído, puede entrar en contacto con cables de alimentación y
causar lesiones o la muerte por electrocución, y que el operador es responsable de evitar dichos riesgos.

El video explica a los operadores de tractores y cortadoras las prácticas seguras que deben adoptar cuando
utilizan cortadoras industriales y agrícolas. Es importante que todos los operadores de cortadoras aprendan cómo
operar sus equipos de corte y puedan reconocer los posibles peligros que pueden surgir al operar una cortadora.
Este video, en conjunto con el manual del operador de la cortadora y los mensajes de advertencia que se
encuentran en la cortadora, serán muy útiles para complementar este aprendizaje tan importante.
Es posible que su distribuidor autorizado de Schulte le haya mostrado este video y le haya entregado una copia en
DVD cuando adquirió su cortadora. Si usted o algún operador de cortadora no vio el video: mire el video, lea este
Manual del Operador, y complete la Guía del Video antes de operar su cortadora nueva. Si no comprende alguna
de las instrucciones del video o del manual del operador, o si tiene alguna pregunta acerca de la operación segura,
comuníquese con su supervisor, con el distribuidor o con Alamo Group Ag.
