ASSEMBLY
FRONT PUMP MOUNTING
Install the pump mounting bracket on the front of the tractor with
Slide the pump drive shaft into the crankshaft adapter. The end with the shorter splines should be inserted into the adapter (if applicable).
Slide the splined drive shaft coupler onto the pump drive shaft. Install the pump onto the mounting bracket. NOTE: the shaft is offset to one direction, the pump should be installed with the offset side on top. Install hardware for securing pump to the pump mount, DO NOT tighten.
Align pump so that splined coupling can be moved back and forth by hand. Tighten pump mounting bolts in succession rechecking for spline coupling movement. Remove the pump mounting bracket bolts one at a time and apply a tread locking agent. Tighten these bolts in succession, again checking for free movement in the drive shaft. After all bolts are torqued, the end play on the drive shaft should be 1/16” to 1/8”, and coupler should move freely with hand pressure. If end play is less than 1/16”, grind the end of the shaft to achieve the proper end play. If there is more than 1/4" of end play, return the shaft with specifications for a longer shaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE ATTACHED, TANK IS FILLED WITH PROPER OIL AND BALL VAVLES ARE OPEN! STARTING AT THIS TIME WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
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.
