ASSEMBLY
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
This mower is equipped with suction type blades for
best results in lawn mowing.
Before working underneath, block mower
securely. Hydraulic system leak down and failure of
mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equip-
ment to drop.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service or
maintenance.
Always wear relatively tight and belted cloth-
ing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hands, hearing and head.
The mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended
torque values for hardware are located on page 45.
Optional equipment such as front roller, leaf mulcher or
blades should be installed before mower is mounted on
tractor. Casters are easier to install after mower is
mounted on tractor. See the Optional Equipment sec-
tion, page 26, for installation instructions.
Select a suitable working area to assemble mower.
Open accompanying parts box and lay parts out to
make location easy.
