This sign should face traffic when deck
is folded up for transporting.
Hydraulic Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 1-4:
This mower is equipped and plumbed from the factory
with double acting cylinders, hydraulic hoses, and
couplings for folding the wings and center deck.
1.
Cut plastic ties securing hydraulic hoses (#1) to hose
support loop (#2). Be careful not to cut plastic tie
securing the ten linch pins (#5) to the support loop.
2.
Route hoses (#1) through hose support loop (#2)
and connect to tractor remote outlets. Quick
disconnect hydraulic fittings for your tractor are
supplied attached to the hoses.
3.
Locate carbon steel wire (#3) attached between wing
cylinders (#4). This wire secures the wing decks in
the folded position during shipment. Remove wire
and dispose of it in a trash container.
Pull Rope Hook-Up
Skip to “Gauge Wheel Assembly” below if mower is
equipped with “Hydraulic Wing Unlock Option”.
Refer to Figure 1-5:
The operator on the tractor seat will need to be able to
access the pull rope from the tractor seat when lowering
the folded decks to ground level.
1.
Attach pull rope (#3) to an area within the operator’s
reach. Make sure the pull rope can not become
tangled with the operator and driveline.
2.
See “Unfold Mower Decks” on page 19 for detailed
unfolding instructions.
Gauge Wheel Assembly
Refer to Figure 1-6:
Center deck gauge wheels (#4) are mounted in the
carrier frames spindle support tubes upside down.
1.
Remove nuts (#7) and bolts (#6) from the center
deck carrier frames and remove gauge wheels from
the frames.
2.
Check spacer location on the other gauge wheels.
Note how many and what sizes are above and below
the gauge wheel spindle support tube and then place
an equal number of spacers (#1, 2, & 3) and sizes
above and below the spindle support tube while
inserting the gauge wheel spindle into the spindle
support tubes.
3.
Raise center deck up just enough to insert gauge
wheel spindles into the carrier frame spindle support
tubes as shown in Figure 1-6.
4.
Continue with step #5 on page 16.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend spring steel mounting
bracket supporting the slow moving vehicle sign.
This sign is purposely angled so that when the deck
is folded up for transporting, the sign will face traffic.
