- [Narrator] The Q3® cutter bar by Vermeer
has many great features.
One that owners like the most
is the simplicity of the
Quick-Change™ shear ring.
Here's how it works.
After shutting down your machine,
raise the cutter bar and engage
the cutter bar lift locks.
Open the curtains
and remove cutter bar drive
disc components, if needed.
Grab the spanner tool and hook
that are shipped in the mower tool box.
To loosen the spanner nut and washer,
use the hook to help
hold the disc in place.
Line the spanner tool
pins up to the spanner nut
and use a 24-millimeter
socket to loosen the hex nut.
Remove the disc assembly
from the drive shaft,
and use a 3/16-inch punch
to drive the remnants of
the shear ring from the hub.
Replace with the new shear ring
and rotate the disc 90 degrees
from the neighboring disc on either side.
Align the sheer ring's blinds
with the drive shaft's blinds
and slide the disc assembly
onto the drive shaft.
Apply red thread locking compound 263
to the spanner nut and drive shaft,
then tighten the spanner nut.
Install the cover and bolts
to the disc component,
and replace drive
components, if necessary,
and that's it.

see your operator's manual
or visit your local Vermeer dealer.
