ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP
The mower is shipped in 3 main assemblies in order to facilitate shipping within
enclosed vans. Approximately 3 hours are required to assemble the mower into a field
ready condition. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values are found on
page 40. Select a suitable working area. A tractor or portable hydraulic supply is
necessary to complete assembly. All required hardware is supplied with the machine.
Assembly should be completed by a competent individual who has an understanding
of safe machinery operation practices and tool operation. Always use personal
protection devices such as eye and ear protection during assembly. Ensure the area is
free of hazards and can accommodate the assembly of the mower. Always stay clear
of the machine when lowering decks during the assembly process.
WING DECKS
1. Before removing any bolt or pin, the deck spreader fixture (PTE # 526498)
needs to be placed underneath the mower frame, centered between the wing
decks on the floor. This must be installed before lowering the decks to prevent
the decks from pivoting underneath the mower frame.
