ASSEMBLY
Assembly Section 2-41
FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Place operators safety and operation decals on the steering column and side counsel where
they are clearly visible to the operator. These decals should be understood by each operator of
the machine in conjunction with the safety and operation section of this book. The decals are to
be maintaned in good condition as a reminder to the operator, and should be replaced if
damaged.
Finally, all bosses, pins and pivot points will need to be greased as instructed in the
maintenance section of this manual. The hydraulic reservoir can also be filled with the
recommended fluid (see maintenance section) and the filter installed in the top of the tank.
Double check all fittings and fasteners BEFORE starting tractor. Also secure any loose hoses
together with zip ties and wrap with split hoses where friction may occur on the hoses.
BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and understand the
safety and operation sections of this manual completely.
BE SURE THE BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! Start tractor and allow instruments to stabilize.
Using a piece of paper or cardboard as noted in the safety and maintenance sections, check all
fittings and connections for hydraulic leaks.
If a leak is found, you must shut down the tractor, set the cutter on the ground. Before
attempting to fix the leak, you must actuate the lift valve handles several times to relieve any
pressure in the lines.
Before operating the mower, the cutter head and boom should be slowly moved throughout
the full range of motion. Watch for any condition that would cause pinching or excess stress on
the hoses. The steering and front axle travel should also be carefully moved through their full
range of motion. If any condition occurs in which the hoses contact the tires, the steering and /
or front axle travel may need to be limited as described in the tractor operators manual. This
should also be done if the tires rub, or are extremely close to any other part of the mower such as
the hydraulic tank or draft beam. This may include adding shims, or adjusting stop bolts in the
tractor front to solve the problem. While checking motion, you should also check that the control
circuits are connected according to the operators decal for the valve handles.
MOWER TESTING
Take the tractor to a place free of loose objects on the ground. Operate the cylinders through
their full range of motion again, to clear the lines of air. Follow the instructions in the operation
section to operate the mower. Vibration of the mower should be minimal at all times. After a 5
minute test run, the knife bolts should be retorqued and once again after the first few hours of
operation.
If any parts of this assembly section, or any other section of this manual are
not clearly understood you must contact your dealer or the address on the front of
this manual for assistance!
