Assembly Section 2-19
ASSEMBLY
FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Place operators safety and operation decals on the steering column and side
counsel where they are clearly visible to the operator. These decals should be
understood by each operator of the machine in conjunction with the safety and
operation section of this book. The decals are to remain in good condition as a
reminder to the operator, and should be replaced if damaged.
Double check that all pivot points have been greased. Secure all hoses
together with zip ties and wrap with split hose sections where friction may occur on
the hose.
BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and understand
the safety and operation sections of this manual completely.
Before operating the mower, the cutter head and draft beam should be
slowly moved throughout the full range of motion. Watch for any condition that
would cause pinching or excess stress on the hoses. The steering and front axle
travel should also be carefully moved through their full range of motion. If any
condition occurs in which the hoses contact the tires, the steering and / or front
axle travel may need to be limited as described in the tractor operators manual.
This should also be done if the tires rub, or are extremely close to any other part of
the mower such as the hydraulic tank or draft beam. This may include adding
shims, or adjusting stop bolts in the tractor front to solve the problem. While
checking motion, you should also check that the control circuits are connected
according to the operators decal for the valve handles.
MOWER TESTING
Take the tractor to a place free of loose objects on the ground. Operate the
cylinders through their full range of motion again, to clear the lines of air. Follow
the instructions in the operation section to operate the mower. Vibration of the
mower should be minimal at all times. After a 5 minute test run, the knife bolts
should be retorqued and once again after the first few hours of operation.
If any parts of this assembly section, or any other section of this
manual are not clearly understood you must contact your dealer or the
address on the front of this manual for assistance!
