DEALER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Set up mower as received from factory with these instructions.
This mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Refer to bolt torque chart in Maintenance Section. All bolts are Grade
5 unless otherwise specified.
All references to location as right, left, front, rear, top and bottom is viewed facing the direction of forward travel
when the implement is properly attached to the operating power unit.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted compo-
nent unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to pre-
vent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or
even death.
Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this Imple-
ment, any of its components or any Implement function.

HITCH LINKAGE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! For shipping purposes, the mower
hitch floating links are connected with two bolts
apiece to a lower transport link (which is painted
black) and the lower links to be used during oper-
ation are strapped to the floating links. Before
operation, the linkage must be re-configured to
flex upward. Failure to replace three-hole trans-
port link with two-hole lower link (painted same
color as unit) as described below before operation
could result in mower hitch failure.
1. Place the cutter on a solid level surface rest-
ing on its skids.
2. Cut away strapping material holding lower
links on top of floating link.
3. Remove all hardware and bushings con-
nected to lower transport link. Discard three-
hole black transport link.
4. Attach two-hole lower link to deck and to mid-
dle hole on floating links, using existing hard-
ware and bushings.
5. Place bushing between both arms above
lower link and install bolt through bushing and
fasten with locknut.
6. Repeat procedure on other link assembly.
7. Place bushing between both arms above
mower link and install 5/8" bolt through bush-
ing an fasten with 5/8" locknut.
