Changing Rotation (Forward Or Reverse) - Alamo Industrial Hydro 88 Operator's Manual

Changing to Forward or Reverse Rotation
MOWER
The hydraulic motor is a dual rotation motor which means it will rotate in either direction depending on the inlet port
used. To change rotation, remove the four bolts that mount the manifold block to the motor. Remove the case drain
hose at the motor. Leave all other plumbing as presently installed at the manifold block. Remove the two mounting
bolts at the motor mounting plate and rotate the motor approx. 150 deg** counter clockwise looking from the
mainfold block end of the motor. This changes the present inlet port into the outlet port of the motor. Re-install
manifold block in the same orientation as it was removed. Install case drain hose.
** The Motor Mount Plate has 4 holes located at approximately 4, 10, 11, and 5 o'clock positions as viewed from
rear of Motor. The 2 unused mounting holes will now be used to re-mount the Motor to the Mounting Plate.
Replacing Cutter Unit Knives
The cutter knives are attached to the cutter shaft with hardened pin and cotter pins. These pins are supplied with
the knife kit. To remove existing knives, remove and discard these pins and install new knives using new pins.
