ASSEMBLY
Assembly Section 2-24
DECK / MOTOR FEEDLINE
Install the 1” hoses from the motor to the solenoid valve. Refer to the parts section for
detailed information about hoses and fittings for this application.
Install split hoses around hydraulic hoses where they contact sharp edges, or any other
edges that may rub hoses.
Be sure that all grease zerks are installed in the draft beam pin bosses. Grease all areas of
the draft beam according to the instructions in the maintenance section. Re-check all fittings for
tightness.
Fill hydraulic tank with fluid as recommended in the Maintenance Section.
BE SURE TO
OPEN THE BALL VALVES. Start the tractor and operate the inboard cylinder through the entire
stroke and the outboard cylinder through the bottom ¾ stroke repeatedly to clear the lines of air.
DO NOT run outboard cylinder out to full stroke until stop bolt has been adjusted!
Check for oil leaks at all fittings and connections using a piece of paper or cardboard. If a
leak is found, you must shut down the tractor and set the cutter head 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.
DO NOT USE HANDS TO CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKS!
Raise the three point hitch and check the tractor internal hydraulics, fill to proper level if
needed. (ASM-C-0079)
STOP BOLT ADJUSTMENT
Extend the outboard cylinder all the way out. Adjust the stop adjustment bolt (located on the
top of the draft beam) out until it is up against the bonnet. Lock the bolt down with the ¾” hex
nut.
NOTE: When the outboard cylinder is fully extended, the bonnet or deck should either be up
against the stop or if travel locks are installed, it should be up against the travel lock. It may be
necessary to use either external or internal slugs on the cylinder to get the correct stroke. If the
cutter head is against the stop and the cylinder has stoke remaining, serious damage will occur.
Proceed to final preparation for operation instructions on the next page. ASM-SIDE MNTS-0003)
