WHEEL WEIGHT MOUNTING
For all tractors using a boom mower, a wheel weight will be required for the rear left
side wheel. It will be necessary to mount the weight in the wheel using the long
capscrews, lockwashers, flatwashers, spacers (if applicable), and hex nuts per the
diagram in the parts section.
Installation is most easily done with a fork lift, inserting a fork in the center slot of the
wheel weight. The head of the capscrews is to be toward the OUTSIDE of the weight,
with flatwashers on both the inside and outside of the assembly.
The left rear tire may also be filled with a mixture of water and calcium chloride at
about five pounds per gallon. Tire air pressure should be maintained according to the
Maintenance Section.
SINGLE COLUMN BOOM REST MOUNTING
Carefully lower the boom rest and align the boss' with the holes of the axle brace.
Now install all attaching hardware as shown in the parts section loosely, to allow for the
alignment. Tighten / torque all hardware on the axle brace and the boom rest. Finally,
add the Boomrest Plate with the hardware provided so it lines up with the boom in the
rear stowing position.
