wrap or hook on short chain. Be sure that when decks are brought into transport position, the safety chain will not bind or pull PTO shield. The Intermediate shaft is installed with the large bell end onto the main gear box.
WING GUIDING CHAIN: In some conditions during the unfolding of the mower wings before operating, the wing deck corner pin contacts the end of the supporting plate and does not come to rest on the top of the plate. This is mainly caused by either inadequate lubrication of the wing deck PTO shaft tubes or lowering of decks while not stationary, on level ground.
OPERATING THE MOWER: A careful and knowledgeable operator is the best insurance against an accident. Allow no riders on any equipment. If tractor is equipped with R.O.P.S., use the seat belt for maximum protection. Make sure that everyone is clear of the tractor and mower before starting the engine or operating.
HITCHING MOWER TO TRACTOR NOTICE - Attach mower to drawbar only. Drawbar should be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from the centerline of the draw-pin hole to end of PTO shaft. This is critical for proper PTO shaft operation.
LEVELLING THE MOWER & PTO For proper mower operation and maximum PTO life, the mower hitch and PTO driveline must be set up correctly. a) When the mower is connected to the tractor, the mower hitch frame “A”, should be as close to level with the ground as possible. b) The connecting hitch “B”...
CHECK PTO LENGTH DURING TURNS During the mowing operation the tractor should be able to make turns without damage to the driveline. To ensure proper setup check the following conditions: a) With the tractor and mower aligned, and the input PTO straight, turn the shields on the input PTO to check that the holes line up for greasing the input shaft tubes.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Mower cutting height adjustment is made by removing lynch pin from the top of each castor stem (square or round) and corner support and moving the spacers either above or below support tube as required for your selected cutting height.
SAFETY CHAIN It is recommended that the safety chain provided with this mower be attached to the towing vehicle at all times. SAFETY CHAIN Install a safety chain as shown. After attaching the safety chain, make a test run to the left and right for a short distance to check for proper adjustment.
TIRES Upon receiving your mower, check air pressure in the tires and adjust according to specifications. Mower Deck Tires – 24 PSI Main Frame Tires – 32 PSI CAUTION - Never inflate tires beyond 35 pounds per square inch to seat beads. Inflation beyond 35 PSI pressure before seating the bead may break the bead or even the rim with an explosive force.
An Important Word On Grease Compatibility What Grease Is: -Grease is essentially a distilled petroleum product in the form of mineral oil (or a synthetic) which has a thickening agent such as lithium, calcium, barium, sodium, or aluminum. -Many of the thickeners will work for similar situations, but when mixing greases with different thickeners, one must review compatibility.
Check the properties of the grease you wish to use with your supplier prior to LUBRICATION A properly maintained lubrication schedule will provide a smooth running machine for many years. All pivot locations have grease fittings. The following information shows and describes where all lubrication points are located.
only be determined by operator, depending on working conditions in your particular area. GEARBOX OIL LEVELS IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVERFILL! MOWER MUST BE LEVEL WHEN CHECKING GEARBOX OIL LEVEL DECK GEARBOXES: Gearboxes all have an oil level plug located on the side of the gearbox. Oil should reach the bottom of this hole.
MAINTENANCE WARNING - Turn tractor engine off before performing any maintenance. CAUTION - Always use personal protection devices such as eye and ear protectors when performing maintenance functions.

BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONS Two, 1/2” X 1 3/4” Grade 5 bolts with lockwashers and nuts hold blade to blade spindle support bar. When changing blades, be sure that these fasteners are in good condition so they will not come loose during operation.
SPINDLE INSPECTION: Spindles are equipped with two roller ball bearings. Adjustment is set by tightening the 1” left hand nut to 60 ft-lbs. torque for proper setting. Periodically inspect blade spindles by grasping blade, and moving from side to side. If any free play is noted, replace or repair. SPINDLE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL: Remove blade from spindle.
ASSEMBLY OF SPINDLE: Only use a press that has the ram and bed 100% square to each other. If bearings are not square in housing, bearings will wear out prematurely. Press on outer race when inserting into hub and press on inner race when installing on spindle.
“V” BELT ADJUSTMENT: Begin by loosening 4 bolts at the base of the gearbox. By adjusting long threaded bolt, this will slide the gearbox back, tightening the belt. After proper tension is achieved, tighten 4 bolts at base of gearbox. You may have to place a 1/2”...
