3. ASSEMBLY
3.1 Towbar Installation (Refer to Selection Chart - Section 1.1)
A towbar may need to be fitted to some models of
the Rover Rancher
TM
and Raider
TM
Ride-on
Mower to facilitate the mounting of the Ride-on
Mower Grass Catcher.
The mounting position of the rear bumper bar
varies between models of Rover ride-on mowers.
Due to this configuration the rear bumper bar
model 110 has three sets of mounting holes in the
side mounting flanges, which suit all front engine
Ranchers
TM
and Lawnking
TM
mowers currently
manufactured by Rover. (Refer to Figure 3.1).
The Rear Bumper Bar Model 110 is fitted as a
standard feature on the Lawn King
TM
and is an
option on Rancher
TM
Ride-ons and the Raider
TM
Ride-on.
This modification allows maximum air velocity to be achieved
at the outlet chute necessary for the grass catcher to effectively
collect grass cuttings.
These modifications involve the cutting of air intake ports into
the top of the Model 180 (30”) cutterhead and welding in
stiffeners.
CAUTION
Modifications to the cutterhead must be
carried out by an Authorised Rover
Service Dealer or Warranty on products
will be void.
CAUTION
Towbar brackets have 3 sets of
holes per side.
Lawn King has the towbar fitted
as standard.
1. Slide the towbar over the rear of the chassis with the
side brackets pointing upwards.
2. Align the holes in the towbar side brackets with the
holes in the rear of the chassis. Retain the towbar
with the four bolts, shakeproof washers and nuts
supplied.
