FM Owner’s Manual
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: All item numbers called out in the assembly, operation,
and maintenance sections of this manual can be found on Parts
List (pages 15-18).
1. Cut and remove the nylon retaining straps (see figure 11-1).
2. With the console and handle assembly positioned as shown in
Figure 11-3, insert the shift linkage rod (Item 31) into the shift
linkage connector (Item 54).
3. To assemble the shift rod (item 31) to the shift linkage (item 54),
use the roll pin in the parts/literature bag. If you’ll notice on the
shift linkage, the hole is larger on one side than the other.
It will be easier to start the roll pin from the larger side, forcing it
through the shift rod and the hole on the other side of the shift
linkage, using a hammer or large adjustable pliers.
4. Insert one of the handle mounting bolts (Item 102) with split lock
washer (Item 6) on top of flat washer (Item 184) through the rear
handle mounting hole of the right side handle, and screw it into the
rear handle mounting hole on the right side of engine base
chassis (Item 61). Repeat this procedure for the left side using the
left handle.
5. On each side of the mower, insert one of the handle mounting
bolts (Item 102) with split lock washer (Item 6) on top of flat
washer (Item 184) through the hole in one end of the handle brace
(Item 32), the front handle mounting hole of the handle and screw
into the front handle mounting hole in the engine base chassis
(Figure 11-5).
7. Position control cables and use 2 cable ties on each handle to
secure the cables in position. The top cable tie should be 1” below
the console and the lower tie should be 12” below the console
(see figure 11-8 and 11-9).
8. Check the position of the shift rod guide (Item 69), and if
necessary, snap it in place in the shift bracket (Item 78) as shown
in Figure 11-10.
9. Put shift lever in NEUTRAL, depress the brake lever (release
the brake) and carefully pull the machine back off the pallet.
10. Fill with oil and gas to the proper level and the unit is ready to
mow. (A battery will also have to be installed on electric models.)
11. Read the operator’s manual.
