DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

This mower is equipped with suction type blades for best results in lawn mowing.

A WARNING

Before working underneath, block mower securely. Hydraulic system leak down and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equip- ment to drop.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service or maintenance.

A CAUTION

Always wear relatively tight and belted cloth- ing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hands, hearing and head.

The mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for hardware are located on page 45.

Optional equipment such as front roller, leaf mulcher or blades should be installed before mower is mounted on tractor. Casters are easier to install after mower is mounted on tractor. See the Optional Equipment sec- tion, page 26, for installation instructions.

Select a suitable working area to assemble mower. Open accompanying parts box and lay parts out to make location easy.
