ASSEMBLY
HOSE COVERING
Secure hoses together with zip ties wherever loose. Wrap the hoses with the
hose covers as illustrated in the parts book. Where hoses may contact the frame or
other edges, wrap with split hose and secure with hose clamps or zip ties. On non
cab units the pressure and return hoses from the control valve will also need to be
routed inside the protective clear hose wrap.
EXTENDING ZERK ON FLAIL HEAD
Due to the belt shield covering the cutter shaft bearing on the flail head a hose,
elbow, & grease zerk have been added to the bearing. Remove the existing grease
zerk from the bearing and discard. Attach the elbow to the bearing. Next, the hose is
attached to the elbow and routed through the belt shield(shown below) and attached
to the outside of the shield. The additional zerk is connected to the end of the hose for
easier bearing maintenance.

WHEEL WEIGHT MOUNTING
For the BoomKat mower, a wheel weight will be required for the left side rear wheel.
It will be necessary to mount the 1700 pound wheel weight in the wheel using the long
capscrews, lockwahers, flatwashers, and hex nuts per diagram in the parts section.
Installation is most easily done with a small fork lift, inserting a fork in the center slot
of the wheel weight. The head of the capscrews is to be toward the OUTSIDE of the
weight, with flatwashers on both inside and outside of the assembly.
The left rear tire must also be filled with a mixture of water and calcium chloride at
about five pound per gallon. Tire air pressure should be maintained at approximately
30 P.S.I.
After assembling all components, double check the complete
assembly from the main frame to the cutter head. Check the diagrams in
the parts sections for proper placement and assembly of all
components.
