ROTARY MOWER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Place rotary mower on a flat, level surface. (See Figure A)
STEP 2
Remove the wired on PTO shaft, lift pins, and spacers. Loosen and re-
move the(4) bolts on the lift arm brackets, that secure the lift arm support
straps, lift arms, and lift arm braces from the shipping positions and set
aside. (See Figure B)
STEP 3
Install the right lift arm and lift arm support strap using (2) two short bolts
and (1) one lift pin. (See Figure C) Note: The lift arm support strap has
one hole punched larger than the other. The larger hole is to be used to
fasten with the lift pin. The lift arm & support straps should be fastened to
the outside of the lift arm bracket.
STEP 4
Loosen and remove the (2) nuts and washers for the A-frame tailwheel
section, leaving the bolts in place. (See Figure D)
STEP 5
Install both the right and left side lift arm braces by sliding them over the
(2) two A-frame tailwheel bolts that were loosened in step 4. Start the
nuts on the bolts, but at this time DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM. Allow the lift
arm braces to rotate forward and rest against the installed lift arm. (See
Figure E)
STEP 6
Install the long top mounting bolt by inserting it through the hole in the
left side lift arm brace, the lower of the (2) two holes in the left side lift
arm, the spacer, the lower of the (2) two holes in the top of the right side
lift arm (which should not be attached to the lift arm bracket at this time),
and finally through the right side lift arm brace. Install a washer and
start the nut on the bolt, but do not tighten it at this time. (See Figure
F,G & H) Note: You may have to move the assembly around to start the
nut & washer. If unable to get the nut and washer started a "C" clamp
may be necessary to compress the assembly to be able to start the nut
& washer. Install the swivel (U-Shaped piece) put mounting bolt through
upper hole in left lift arm, the spacer & swivel, (making sure the 1" block
on swivel is toward the front and rests against front side of the bottom
spacer), then through top hole of right lift arm, install a washer and start
the nut on the bolt, but do not tighten it at this time.
