Replacement Oil Filter
Included in the packing box of this unit is a replacement filter element for filter assembly in the tank.
This Mower unit's hydraulic components have been carefully cleaned and packaged at the factory to
prevent contamination from entering the system. However, dust and dirt particles may enter into the
sealed components through transportation, handling, rain, or just sitting in a dirty or harsh environment.
Therefore to assure that the hydraulic system is properly clean, please prepare the area where the unit
is to be assembled. The area should be on a hard concrete floor that has been swept clean of all dust
and contaminants. Unpacked the Mower unit carefully so that the seals on the hydraulic components
are not broken or pulled off.
WARNING!
Before attempting to assemble the mower to the tractor, move the tractor to a clean
solid surface, preferably a concrete shop surface with an over head crane. The crane
should have a rated capacity to lift the heaviest component or assembly. A 5-ton crane
is recommended for the assembly work. If a smaller crane is used, be sure not to
exceed the rated capacity of the crane.
Q
Always follow all OSHA crane operating and inspection rules, regulations,
inspection requirements, and recommended practices when using the crane.
Q Never work under any component that is lifted by the crane.
