2. Enter the cab through rubber grommet located in the
center of the floorboard.
3. Place the control box bracket in the desired mounting
location on the dash making sure there are no electrical
wires in the area (behind the dash). Using the bracket as
a template, mark the location for the four mounting holes;
then center punch the holes.
4. Using a 1/4 in. drill bit, drill the holes in the dash. Using
the hardware included, secure the bracket to the dash;
tighten securely.
5. Place the control box onto the bracket and secure.
6. Attach the red wire eyelet to the positive terminal and the
black wire eyelet to the negative terminal of the battery;
then connect the wiring harness to the control box.
7. Using cable ties, secure the harness along its route to
prevent abrading, pinching, and contact with hot surfaces.
Installing Deflector And Spinner Shield
1. Place deflector across the bottom of the hopper and secure
to the hopper frame with two bolts and nuts. Tighten
securely.
2. Remove two rear screws securing each hydraulic motor.
3. Place the angles on the deflector and secure.
4. Place the spinner shield into position and secure using
the angles and rear screws of each hydraulic motor mount.
Installing Hopper
1. Carefully back under the hopper until the rear hinges line
up with pivots on hopper frame.
2. Using the jacks, align the pivots and hinges; then insert
the hinge pins and secure.
3. Lower and remove the jacks.
4. For each cylinder, align the lift cylinder end with the
cylinder frame mount; then install the lift cylinder rod-
end pin.
5. Fully extend the lift cylinder; then install the safety bar
on cylinder rod.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to work beneath the hopper
unless the safety bar is in place on lift cylinder rod.
6. Remove front legs.
7. Connect the electrical harness at right rear.
8. Noting the supply and return hydraulic couplings for both
the utility vehicle and hopper and making sure the
couplings are clean, connect the two hydraulic hoses. The
hoses must be attached to the proper couplings for the
Turf Tender to operate properly.
NOTE: The hose that goes to the supply coupling
is marked at the factory with a plastic zip tie.
CAUTION
Make sure that the hose ends and utility vehicle
couplings are clean before hooking up hydraulic
hoses. Contamination of the hydraulic system may
cause failure of components on the Turf Tender and
utility vehicle.
9. Remove the safety bar and completely lower the hopper.
10. Test run to confirm proper operation and check for any
hydraulic leaks.
REMOVING HOPPER
WARNING
The hopper must be completely empty prior to
removing. Failure to empty the hopper prior to
removal may result in a tipping hazard resulting in
damage, injury, or even death.
1. Find a level, dry, firm place to store the Turf Tender.
2. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the hopper. Cap ends
to keep dirt from contaminating the hydraulic system.
3. Disconnect two electrical connectors near the right hinge
point.
4. Raise hopper sufficiently to install front legs; then install
the front legs. Lower hopper so legs are resting on the
ground and each cylinder rod pin is loose.
5. Remove the pin from rod end of each lift cylinder; then
lower the cylinder. Place the cylinder rod end pin(s) back
into position.
6. Insert the jack legs (with jack handles facing outward)
into the receivers at rear. Secure the jack legs with the
quick pins provided.
