MOUNTING THE CONTROL LEVERS
Mount the control levers to the 3/4’ x 3/4” square
bars positioning the control levers to the preferred
height and mount with 3/8” x 1” fasteners, lock
washers, and flat washers. Move the control levers
forward or rearward for operator comfort.
MOUNTING THE SEAT
Mount the seat to the seat frame with four 5/16”
locknuts. Attach seat safety wire to switch under the
seat.
ROPS
Mount the ROPS frame to the formed channels with
the 1/2” x 4-1/4” fasteners and locknuts. NOTE: If
mounting a canopy position the upper structure to
fold to the front. If a canopy will not be mounted
position the upper structure to fold toward the rear.
MOUNTING DISCHARGE CHUTE
Align mounting holes on the discharge chute with
mounts on the deck weldment. Insert discharge
chute pin along with 3/8” flatwasher and 1/8” x 1”
cotter pin.
BATTERY
Attach the positive lead to the battery.
Additional wire tie straps are shipped to secure the
wiring harness as needed.
PIVOTING FRONT AXLE SETTINGS
The Bush Hog pivoting front axle increases operator
comfort, traction, mower life and improves the quali-
ty of cut. In conditions where the terrain is extremely
uneven, better cutting performance may be
achieved by locking the axle in a fixed position. This
is easily done by moving the locking pins to the
outer positions.
ITEMS TO CHECK:
Check oil level in the engine (see engine manual)
Check the fluid level in the hydrostatic oil reservoir.
Check tightness of all fasteners, including bolts, lug
nuts, and setscrews.
Check tire pressure.
