The TD92 mower is partially assembled as delivered. The mower decks are shipped stacked on steel
legs, all other components are packaged with the main frame. The machine parts list can be used as a
graphical reference for assembly.
1) Remove all strapped components from the main frame assembly.(hose support, rear deck safety
/ cylinder assembly, hitch, transport tires, deck swivels, hardware box).
2) Remove all strapped components from the deck stack (PTO shafts, PTO hanger bearing mount)
3) Raise rear of frame and install transport tires.
4) Raise front of frame and install parking jack.
5) The rear deck safety / cylinder assembly is then installed with the supplied pins. The assembly is

is fastened to the rear-lift mechanism with the lock bar. The cylinder ports facing to the right hand
side of the machine.
6) Connect the pull chain from the deck safety to the rear deck safety. Ensure there are no twists in
chain which can affect operation of the lock release.
7) Install the 90 degree hydraulic adapter in the rod end of the cylinder. The adapter port should
face toward the front of the machine when the cylinder is in the lowered position.
*NOTE - all connections are pipe thread and require thread sealant on all joints at assembly
8) Connect the hydraulic hoses to the rear deck cylinder. The long hose (43") connects the bottom
tee on the wing lock frame to the 90 degree adapter at the rod end of the cylinder. The short
hose (31") is connects the top tee on the wing lock frame to the base end of the cylinder.
