ASSEMBLY

TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOUNTING

(OPTIONAL)
Mount the temperature gauge where it is clearly visible to the operator. Attach the
green ( - ) wire from the negative post on the gauge to a grounded bolt on the tractor
frame. Remove paint if needed to make a good ground.
Remove the pipe plug from the side of the hydraulic reservoir , and inst all the
temperature sensor using thread sealing tape.
Run the white wire from the ( S ) sensor post of the gauge to the temperature sensor
on the hydraulic reservoir tank.

GENERAL HOSE INSTALLATION

Refer to the parts section for detailed information about hoses and fittings for this
application.
When mounting the suction hose between the pump and the tank, the stainless
steel bands that are provided must be used. CAUTION: DO NOT use regular hose
clamps for this purpose.
For protection of hoses in contact with metal edges, wrap hoses with spit hose
sections and fasten with hose clamps or zip ties as needed.

HOSE COVERING

Secure hoses together with zip ties wherever loose. Wrap the hoses between
the main boom and secondary boom with the yellow hose cover, secure with black
string provided. Where hoses may contact the frame or other edges, wrap with split
hose and secure with hose clamps or zip ties. On non cab units the pressure and
return hoses from the control valve will also need to be routed inside the protective
clear hose wrap. Cover the valve, valve fittings with the yellow hose cover and
secure with black string provided.

FILLING HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR

Refer to the maintenance section for filling specifications and hydraulic oil
requirements.

NOTE: Starting or running your Tiger mower before filling reservoir will

cause serious damage to hydraulic pump.

MOTOR SOLENOID VALVE MOUNTING

Install a motor solenoid valve to the bracket on main frame with the capscrews,
star lockwasher flatwasher, lockwashers and hex nuts as shown in the parts section.
Be sure that the pump and tank oil ports are pointing forward. Be sure that the star
and regular lockwashers are not on the same capscrew. Ground one of the red
solenoid wires to the mounting bolts with the star lockwasher at this time.
