INSTALLING FRONT WEIGHTS
CAUTION
Optional front weights are heavy. Use appropri-
ate lifting equipment or have the job done by your
authorized dealer.
Install the front weights on the weight bucket using a
suitable lifting device.
To add or remove individual weights, remove the four
tie bolts, 1, and loosen the attaching bolts, 2. Add or
remove individual weights as required, then reinstall
bolts. Torque attaching bolts, 2, to 231 N·m (170
ft.-lbs.) and tie bolts, 1, to 189 N·m (140 ft.-lbs.).
The complete weight assembly can be removed after
both attaching bolts, 2, are removed. Use a suitable
lifting device to remove the weights.
When the weight assembly is reinstalled, be sure the
center weights are seated on the weight bracket
alignment tab. Install attaching bolts, 2, and torque to
81 N·m (60 ft.-lbs.).
IMPORTANT: Retorque attaching hardware after 1
hour of use, then at 8 hours of use, thereafter at
50-hour service intervals.
WARNING
The tractor must not be operated unless both the
tie bolts and attaching bolts are in position with
the bolts tightened as specified. Recheck the bolt
torques after one, eight and 50 hours of
operation if the bolts have been disturbed for any
reason.
