ROTARY MOWER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Place rotary mower on a flat, level surface. (See Figure A)
STEP 2
Remove the wired on PTO shaft, lift pins, and spacers. Loosen and remove the
(4) bolts on the lift arm brackets, that secure the lift arm support straps, lift arms,
and lift arm braces from the shipping positions and set aside.
(See Figure B)
STEP 3
Install the right lift arm and lift arm support strap using (2) two short bolts and (1)
one lift pin.
(See Figure C) Note: The lift arm support strap has one hole
punched larger than the other. The larger hole is to be used to fasten with the lift
pin. The lift arm & support straps should be fastened to the outside of the lift arm
bracket.
STEP 4
Loosen and remove the (2) nuts and washers for the A-frame tail wheel section,
leaving the bolts in place.
(See Figure D)
STEP 5
Install both the right and left side lift arm braces by sliding them over the (2) two
A-frame tail wheel bolts that were loosened in step 4. Start the nuts on the
bolts, but at this time DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM. Allow the lift arm braces to ro-
tate forward and rest against the installed lift arm.
(See Figure E)
STEP 6
Install the long top mounting bolt by inserting it through the hole in the left side
lift arm brace, the lower of the (2) two holes in the left side lift arm, the spacer,
the lower of the (2) two holes in the top of the right side lift arm (which should
not be attached to the lift arm bracket at this time), and finally through the right
side lift arm brace. Install a washer and start the nut on the bolt, but do not
tighten it at this time.
(See Figure F,G & H) Note: You may have to move the
assembly around to start the nut & washer. If unable to get the nut and washer
started a "C" clamp may be necessary to compress the assembly to be able to
start the nut & washer. Install the swivel (U-Shaped piece) put mounting bolt
through upper hole in left lift arm, the spacer & swivel, (making sure the 1" block
on swivel is toward the front and rests against front side of the bottom spacer),
then through top hole of right lift arm, install a washer and start the nut on the
bolt, but do not tighten it at this time.
