DEALER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Set up mower as received from factory with these instructions.

This mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Refer to bolt torque chart in Maintenance Section. All bolts are Grade 5 unless otherwise specified.

All references to location as right, left, front, rear, top and bottom is viewed facing the direction of forward travel when the implement is properly attached to the operating power unit.

Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death.

Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this Implement, any of its components or any Implement function.

HITCH LINKAGE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! For shipping purposes, the mower hitch floating links are connected with two bolts apiece to a lower transport link (which is painted black) and the lower links to be used during operation are strapped to the floating links. Before operation, the linkage must be re-configured to flex upward. Failure to replace three-hole transport link with two-hole lower link (painted same color as unit) as described below before operation could result in mower hitch failure.

1.Place the cutter on a solid level surface resting on its skids.

2.Cut away strapping material holding lower links on top of floating link.

3.Remove all hardware and bushings connected to lower transport link. Discard three-hole black transport link.

4.Attach two-hole lower link to deck and to middle hole on floating links, using existing hardware and bushings.

5.Place bushing between both arms above lower link and install bolt through bushing and fasten with locknut.

6.Repeat procedure on other link assembly.
