OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INITIAL SET UP OF SUPPORTS (CONTINUED)
initial set up of roller SUPPORTS
The roller support brackets should be placed facing
up with the V-ribs 1 to 2" narrower than the width of
the rear roller with the offset either forward or back,
depending on mowing unit requirements.
NOTE: Tighten the side locking knob first so the
bracket is forced against the mounting bar. Then
tighten the bottom bracket. See FIG. 29.
CENTERS BRACKET SET UP
When mounting greens mower mowing units, centers
may be used to hold the mower unit. See FIG. 30.
To mount, measure the outside distance of the mower
frame. Using the center point of the square mounting
bar, position the fixed centering bracket 1/2 that
distance on the left side and securely fasten. Then
place the adjustable centering bracket that distance
plus 1/4" (6.35 mm) on the right side of the mounting
bar and loosely fasten. It may be necessary to move
this bracket when lifting a reel into place even though
it can be adjusted. The adjusting cone should be
retracted as far as possible to make it easier to secure
reels in place.
OPTIONAL PULL GANG BRACKET SET UP
On ground drive mowing units with exposed hubs you
will be using the OPTIONAL Pull Gang Reel Mount Kit
18574, measure the distance from the outside of the
hubs and subtract one inch. Determine the middle of
the square mounting bar, by use of the winch cable.
Then place a "V" bracket 1/2 that distance on the left
side of the mounting bar and securely fasten using
both locking knobs.
Now place a "V" bracket on the right side of the
mounting bar the same distance from the center point,
but loosely attach as it might have to be moved when
reel is lifted into place. The roller support brackets
should be placed 6 to 8" (152-203 mm) inside the reel
supports with the "V" facing the back of the machine
and securely fastened with both locking knobs. The
"V's" have an offset so they can be installed high or
low depending on the reel. See FIG. 31.
FIRMLY TIGHTEN ALL LOCKING KNOBS
BEFORE GRINDING. ANY LOOSENESS WILL
ADVERSELY AFFECT GRINDING QUALITY.
