together
(Figure

4. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the
jam nuts on the pull arms, and adjust the ball sockets
until there is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) clearance
between the lip of the basket and the reel blades.
Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the
cutting unit forward, causing the lift roller to come off
of the lift arm while in the mowing operation.
Ensure that the basket lip is equidistant from the reel
blades all across each reel. If the basket is too close to
the reel, it is possible for the reel to contact the basket
when the cutting unit is raised off or lowered to the
ground.
5. Align the sockets in the ball joints so the open side of
the socket is centered toward the ball stud, and tighten
the jam nuts to secure the sockets in position
(Figure
7).

of threads exposed on each reel drive motor mounting
bolt

7. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease.
8. Install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise so
that the motor flanges clear the studs, then rotate the
motor counterclockwise until the flanges are encircling
the studs.
