ground before removing lifting device. Always keep feet and
other extremities clear of areas where components can fall.

1.
Insert blade pivot (#4) through pivot hole in main
frame (#2).
2. Place pivot cap (#5) over threaded pivot shaft
protruding through pivot hole in main frame (#2).
3. Screw on slotted hex nut (#8) until vertical play is
removed from pivot shaft. Secure slotted hex nut with
cotter pin (#10). Bend one or more legs of cotter pin
to keep cotter pin from falling out.
4. Line up turntable holes in blade assembly (#4) and
mainframe assembly (#2) and insert lock pin (#13).
5. Position upper hitch mast (#3) on main frame (#2)
and insert bolts (#6). Install lock washers (#9) and
