3. Insert the two (2) reel drive motor mounting bolts
(heads on inside of the drive housing – flat washer on top
bolt) through the reel motor flange holes. Thread the
locknuts onto the bolts. Rotate reel motor upward in the
slotted hole in the housing to tension the drive belt and
tighten the fasteners (Fig. 14) to approx. 25 ft–lbs (34
Nm). NOTE: Proper belt tension is achieved when belt
deflects approximately 1/8" (3 mm) at mid–point when
7 lbs. force is applied. (Fig. 14).
IMPORTANT: Rotate motors by hand only. Never
place a bar between hose fittings on hydraulic mo-
tors – motor damage may result.
4. Install the gasket and drive housing cover after mak-
ing sure the ends of the gasket are at the bottom of the
housing to allow for drainage.
IMPORTANT: When hydraulic motors have been
mounted to the cutting units make sure hydraulic
hoses lay flat and do not contact the frame of the
machine when the cutting units are in the raised
position. There should also be sufficient slack SO
hoses are above and not in contact with the floata-
tion kit. If hoses appear twisted once the hydraulic
motors have been mounted and the belts tightened,
loosen swivel nuts at the motor and reposition
hoses. This can greatly increase the life of the
hoses. With cutting units down, all cutting unit
hoses should have a flat natural lay and be free from
twist.
NOTE: Refer to the Traction Unit Operator's Manual for
instructions on setting the adjustable hydraulic counter-
balance.
