SAFETY Si no lee Ingles, pida ayuda a alguien que PELIGRO! LEA EL si lo lea para que le traduzca las medidas INSTRUCTIVO! de seguridad. (SG-3) Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and DANGER! completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement.
Page 10
SAFETY Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. DANGER! Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10) DANGER! Never allow children to operate or ride on the Tractor or Implement. (SG-11) WARNING! Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving.
Page 11
SAFETY WARNING! The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the equipment. (SG-16) CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PER- MANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
Page 12
SAFETY WARNING! Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in motion or while tractor engine is running. Make sure the tractor engine is off before working on the Implement. (SG-20) WARNING! Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts.
Page 13
SAFETY CAUTION! On a fully-assembled unit, do not remove the Wing Retaining Strap until hoses are attached to the tractor and the Wing Cylinders are filled with oil. Lower the Wings slowly and carefully. Keep bystand- ers away during operations. (STI-5) DANGER! NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the...
Page 14
SAFETY DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities.
Page 15
SAFETY Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing DANGER! objects for great distances (100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully. STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UN- LESS: -Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good, working condition;...
Page 16
SAFETY WARNING! Never leave the Tractor and Implement unattended while the Implement is in the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor, lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-Frame.

ASSEMBLY FRONT CRANKSHAFT PULLEY Tiger has found that the front crankshaft pulley used by John Deere will not allow for the installation of a front drive system. You will need to order a different pulley, washer and bolt from John Deere to allow for a front drive to be installed on your tractor.
Page 34
ASSEMBLY DRIVESHAFT AND FRONT PUMP MOUNTING Install spacer plate on tractor engine using bolts and lockwashers as shown in Parts Section. Grease sleeve section of the driveshaft and install from the side of the engine compartment. Once you have the sleeve section in place, bolt to spacer plate using bolts and lockwashers as shown in Parts Section.
Page 35
ASSEMBLY APPLICATION OF LOCTITE 2047 MOWER MAINFRAME MOUNTING BOLTS All mower mainframe mounting bolts shall be secured utilizing Loctite 2047 and torqued per the Torque Chart in the maintenance section. Shake bottle for 60 seconds before use. To prevent clogging of nozzle, do not allow tip to touch metal surfaces during application.
Page 36
ASSEMBLY MAINFRAME INSTALLATION With an overhead hoist and / or jack-stands, raise one side of the frame up to the correctly matching mounting holes. Install capscrews and other hardware to secure the sides of the mainframe to the tractor casting, as shown on the tractor mount kit page in the Parts Section. DO NOT tighten at this time.
Page 37
ASSEMBLY WEATHER-PACK / METRI-PACK ASSEMBLY These instructions apply to both Weather-Pack and Metri-Pack connectors. NOTE: Use the specific tool for the type of connector you are assembling. (ASM-C-0009) HYDRAULIC PORTS These ports are located at the rear of the tractor, under the lift valve, where the valve mounting bracket attaches to the tractor.
Page 38
Locate the plug on the tractor rear remotes for the load sense, and remove the plug. Install a 14mm adapter or elbow and run a 1/4” hose from the remotes to the Tiger valve. Refer to the Parts Section pages for an exploded diagram of the tractor remote valve hookup.
Page 39
ASSEMBLY *NOTE ON HUSCO CONTROL VALVES* Manual, cable controlled (Husco control valve) boom mowers require check valves with integral restricting orifice (#06502036) installed in the control valve work ports that are connected to the gland ends of the main and secondary boom cylinders. This check valve allows oil to free flow into the gland end of the main and secondary boom cylinders, but restricts flow out of the cylinder, thereby providing proper boom control.
Page 40
ASSEMBLY MANUAL SWITCHBOX MOUNTING The switchbox is to be secured to the operator’s side of the control handles, or valve stand. Refer to the Parts Section for assembly and components needed. (ASM-C-0053a) Assembly Section 2-10...
Page 41
ASSEMBLY CABLE CONTROL LEVER STAND On the corner cab post, mark a point at 1-3/8” from the windshield and 22-1/2” from the floor; then cut a 3/4” diameter hole through the outer plastic shell. This will expose a threaded steel boss to attach the control box support bracket.
Page 42
ASSEMBLY DRAFT BEAM INSTALLATION Install ½” O-ring breather into butt port of inboard cylinder. Install fittings in the rod end of the cylinder according to the diagram in the Common Parts section. These fittings should be positioned to face the butt end of the cylinder. Next turn the clevis onto the rod of the cylinder until it is tight against the shoulder and lock into place with locking bolt on clevis.
Page 43
ASSEMBLY MOWER MOUNTING Check that all grease zerks have been installed in the draft beams pivot arm, left linkage arm, right linkage arm, and cylinder mounting ears. Using a clevis pin and roll pins, connect the pivot arm to clevis on draft beam. NOTE: Make sure the longer distance between the cutout and the end of the pivot arm is closest to the draft beam pivot ears on the center tube as shown in the diagram below.
Page 44
ASSEMBLY SIDE MOWER HYDRAULIC DIAGRAM (ASM-C-0090) WHEEL WELL HYDRAULIC TANK INSTALLATION Install all fittings and tubes into tank and tank filter as shown in the Parts Section illustration. Insert tank sight glass onto the tractor side of the tank. Place the tank in the mounting bracket on the axle brace as shown in the Parts Section. Secure the tank with the hardware provided.
Page 45
ASSEMBLY FILLING HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR Refer to the Maintenance Section for filling specifications and hydraulic oil requirements. NOTE: Starting or running your Tiger mower before filling reservoir will cause serious damage to the hydraulic pump. (ASM-C-0004hydro resrv) INSTALLING O-RING FITTINGS Installing straight, 45º and 90º O-rings requires that the O-ring and washer be up against the swivel body.
Page 46
ASSEMBLY SOLENOID BRAKE VALVE Install a solenoid valve on the mounting bracket with the supplied hardware as shown in the Parts Section in this manual. While installing the fittings to the brake valve, the electrical coil on the spool may have to be removed to make room. When reinstalling the coil, it is important to use no more than 5 ft.
Page 47
ASSEMBLY FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION Place operator’s safety and operation decals on the steering column and side console where they are clearly visible to the operator. These decals should be understood by each operator of the machine in conjunction with the Safety and Operation Sections of this book. The decals are to be maintained in good condition as a reminder to the operator, and should be replaced if damaged.
