3. ASSEMBLY
3.1 Towbar installation
(Refer to Selection Chart - Section 1.1)
A towbar may need to be fitted to some models of the
Rover Rancher and Raider Ride-on Mower to
facilitate the mounting of the Ride-on Mower Grass
Catcher.
The mounting position of the rear bumper bar varies
between models of Rover ride-on mowers. Due to this
configuration the rear bumper bar model 1I0 has
three sets of mounting holes in the side mounting
flanges, which suit all front engine Ranchers and
Lawnking mowers currently manufactured by Rover.
(Refer to Figure 3. l).
The Rear Bumper Bar Model 110 is fitted as a
standard feature on the Lawn King and is an option
on Rancher Ride-ons and the Raider Ride-on.
CAUTION
Towbar brackets have 3 sets of
holes per side
Lawn King has the towbar fitted
as standard
1. Slide the towbar over the rear of the chassis with
the side brackets pointing upwards.
2. Align the holes in the towbar side brackets with
the holes in the rear of the chassis. Retain the
towbar with the four bolts, shakeproof washers
and nuts supplied.
