Connecting Mower Motor Hoses:
1.
Connect Motor Pressure & Return Hoses
to Mower Deck. Connecting the Motor Hoses is
very critical that they a re connected to the correct
fittings, If these hose are connected backwards it
will damage the cooling tubes on the deck, the
cooling tubes cannot take the pressure it will make
them swell up and bulge.
IMPORTANT FACT. When connecting the
hoses to the fittings on the mainframe
crossmember remember the top hose is always
thew pressure hose and will only connect to the
motor, never the cooling tubes on the deck. The
bottom hoses are the return hoses and will always
connect to the cooling tubes on the mower deck.
(See Figure 18 & 19). The RH wing will connect
the same as the LH mower (Shown). IMPOR-
TANT. On the RH Wing the top hose is pressure
and connect to the Motor and the bottom hose
connects to the Tank return.
2.
Double Check all Hose Connections. Be-
fore operating the mower make certain all hydrau-
lic hoses are connected correctly. IT IS MOST
critical that you make certain NO HIGH PRES-
SURE hoses are connected to the wet tubes of
the mower deck, The wet tubes will expand (swell
up) and be damage if the High Pressure hose is
connected to the deck wet (cooling) tubes. See
Figure 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27. Looking at all
these figure before going on to next step is impor-
tant.
3. Install Pump Cover. The front pump cover
will bolt to the tank, this cover will cover pumps and
all hoses and/or fittings connected to the pump
(See Figure 20). Set the cover down over the
pumps. Align the hove in cover with the tabs
welded to the tank (See Figure 20).
4.
Install Rear Mower. Go on to the Install rear
mower section which will also include the Initial
Start up procedures. DO NOT START Tractor
until you have completed the initial start up sec-
tion.
