Mounting Mower To Atv - Quadivator HyperCut RD62 Assembly/Operators/Parts Manual

IMPORTANT
Step 4. Re-Install the deck drive shield.
Step 5. It is possible to start the mower at this time, before it is mounted to any ATV. If you
choose to do so, follow these steps:
x
Ensure that there is nothing under the cutting deck that has been inadvertently left
on the ground that would contact the blades – push the mower forward and rear to
visually check!
x
Block the pneumatic wheels both forward and rearward so the mower does not
move.
x
Ensure there are no personnel within 4 ft of the deck and there is no one in line of
the discharge at any time.
x
Turn the fuel valve – located at the bottom of the tank – to the ON or vertical
position – visually check for fuel flow through the filter body.
x
On initial start up, allow the engine to run for 3 – 5 minutes before engaging the
mower deck – the choke should be "removed" right after start up by pulling the
throttle lever towards the operator or the mower deck until the engine runs at
maximum RPM without choke.
x
Engage the mower deck by moving the toggle to ENGAGE or UP position.
x
Initial start up of a new deck may take several (3 – 5) attempts to get the
mower deck up to full speed – because of 5 spindle assemblies and a new
belt.
x
Once up to speed – allow the mower to run for 5 – 10 minutes – this is a "break-in"
period. This break in period will ensure that the customer's first experience with the
HyperCut Mower engages the deck directly from first operation!
x
Disengage the drive to the mower deck, by moving the toggle to RUN or the center
position (the mower deck – rotating blades - should disengage immediately) – idle
the engine and shut off with the ignition key.
x
Re-start the mower following the previous procedure – place the toggle in RUN
Position) and pull the red Safety Tether from the switch – the engine should SHUT
OFF in within 2 seconds. If it does not - consult the Troubleshooting section of the
Power Unit Manual before proceeding with mounting the Mower to an ATV.
x
Turn OFF the Ignition Switch; Re-install the safety tether on its switch, shut off the
fuel valve!
3.3 Mounting the Mower ATV
NOTE - General Principles for mounting the HyperCut Mower to the ATV!
1. The mower is to be centered from the front to the rear, allowing for turning of the
assembled unit and the actuating the mower height control lever!
2. The floating hitch at the rear is horizontal when installed and attached to the ATV!
3. The mower is centered from left to right under the ATV using the chains supplied to loop
around a frame member on the ATV
4. The excess chain is removed but cutting it off as instructed on the orange tags, which
come attached to the end of the chain!
5. The ATV/Mower Unit is maneuvered left to right and with the deck up and down for
minimal left to right movement – less than 1.0"
DO NOT over-tighten the belt – over-tightening the belt will
cause excessive heat build up in the belt and premature belt
wear!
