OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIFTING MOWING UNIT INTO POSITION WHEN
USING THE OPTIONAL PULL GANG MOUNTING
BRACKETS (CONTINUED)
There are two (2) roller supports that are mounted
to the square mounting bar so that the "V" faces the
back of the machine as pictured in FIG. 36A.
The pull gang brackets come with four (4) long
set screws which should be installed on the roller
supports. The set screws are used to hold the
extender plates when it is necessary to move the
mower roller back further to help expose the drive nut
in the reel. The set screws will also be used to attach
the chain vise clamps.
Position the roller supports so the reel roller is
centered on the two (2) supports and firmly lock in
place.
NOTE: On some reels the "V" grooves of the roller
supports will be positioned on top of the support bar.
This application is used primarily for fairway and
greens mowers. See FIG. 36B.
If the mowing unit back needs to be positioned further
back, pull the mowing unit back out of the way and
slide the extender plate onto both long socket head
set screws and tighten down with 3/8-16 nuts and 3/8
lock washers. See FIG. 36C.
MAKE SURE THAT THE ELEVATOR CABLE IS
ATTACHED TO THE REEL AND THAT SOME
TENSION IS ON CABLE BEFORE PULLING THE
REEL BACK.
After the reel roller is positioned correctly in the roller
brace, wrap the chain vise clamp around the roller, and
around the stud on the roller brace. Firmly tighten the
chain clamp to secure the rear roller. See FIG. 37.
FIRMLY TIGHTEN ALL LOCKING KNOBS
BEFORE GRINDING. ANY LOOSE KNOBS WILL
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE GRIND QUALITY.
