MAINTENANCE
BALL VALVES
The ball valve at the hydraulic reservoir may need to be closed during certain
maintenance or repair procedures. THE BALL VALVES MUST BE OPEN (handle
parallel with valve) WHEN TRACTOR IS RE-STARTED OR PUMP IS COUPLED
TO MOTOR OR P.T.O. ! Failure to do so may result in component failure!
ADJUSTING THE CABLE LIFT
Extend the outboard cylinder until the mower deck touches its stop on the draft
beam as shown. NOTE: Make sure the cable turnbuckle is loose enough to allow
the cylinder to reach full extension before the head reaches the stop. Now hold the
head against the stop and tighten the turnbuckle until the cable is tight. Lower and
raise the head to check the adjustment. The head should touch its stop at the same
time the cylinder reaches full extension. Tighten turnbuckle lock nuts securely after
adjustment is complete.
