ASSEMBLY
STOP BOLT ADJUSTMENT
The stop bolt is not required on flail side mowers and should not be installed on
the combo draft beam.
NOTE: When the outboard cylinder is fully extended, the bonnet should be up
against the stop or if travel locks are installed, it should be up against the travel lock.
It may be necessary to use either external or internal slugs on the cylinder to get the
correct stroke. If the cutter head is against the stop and the cylinder has stoke
remaining, serious damage will occur.
Proceed to final preparation for operation instructions on the next page.
DECK / MOTOR FEEDLINE
Install the 1” hoses from the motor to the solenoid valve. Refer to the parts
section for detailed information about hoses and fittings for this application.
Install split hoses around hydraulic hoses where they contact sharp edges, or any
other edges that may rub hoses.
Be sure that all grease zerks are installed in the draft beam pin bosses. Grease
all areas of the draft beam according to the instructions in the maintenance section.
Re-check all fittings for tightness and be sure teflon tape has been used at all
connections.
Fill hydraulic tank with fluid as recommended in the maintenance section. BE SURE
TO OPEN THE BALL VALVES. S t art the tractor and operate the inboard cylinder
through the entire stroke and the outboard cylinder through the bottom ¾ stroke
repeatedly to clear the lines of air. DO NOT run outboard cylinder out to full
stroke until stop bolt has been adjusted!
Check for oil leaks at all fittings and connections using a piece of paper or cardboard.
If a leak is found, you must shut down the tractor and set the cutter head on the
ground. Before attempting to fix the leak, you must actuate the lift valve handles
several times to relieve any pressure in the lines. DO NOT USE HANDS TO
CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKS!
Raise the three point hitch and check the tractor internal hydraulics, fill to proper
level if needed.
