Pull Rope Hook-Up
Skip to
“Gauge Wheel Assembly”
below if mower is
equipped with
“Hydraulic Wing Unlock Option”
.
Refer to Figure 1-8:
The operator on the tractor seat will need to be able to
access the pull rope from the tractor seat when lowering
the folded decks to ground level.
1. Attach pull rope (#3) to an area within the operator’s
reach. Make sure the pull rope can not become
tangled with the operator and driveline.
2. See
“Unfold Mower Decks”
on page 21 for detailed
unfolding instructions.
Gauge Wheel Assembly
Refer to Figure 1-9:
Center deck gauge wheels (#1) are mounted in the
carrier frames spindle support tubes upside down.
1. Remove nuts (#6) and bolts (#5) from the center deck
carrier frames and remove gauge wheels from the
frames.
2. Check spacer location on the other gauge wheels.
Note how many and what sizes are above and below
the gauge wheel spindle support tube and then place
an equal number of spacers (#2, 3 & 4) and sizes
above and below the spindle support tube while
inserting the gauge wheel spindle into the spindle
support tubes.
3. Raise center deck up just enough to insert gauge
wheel spindles into the carrier frame spindle support
tubes as shown in Figure 1-8.
Refer to Figure 1-10:
4. Secure gauge wheels with linchpins (#7) supplied
attached to the support loop with plastic ties. Insert
linchpins from the front and flip clasp shut over the
spindles towards the back. Attaching linchpin in this
manner will prevent vegetation from catching on the
clasp and flipping it open while traveling forward.
5. Lower all mower decks fully down. Decks should be
supported by the gauge wheels with gauge wheels
on the ground.
6. Remove bolts (#5) from the remaining gauge wheel
spindles and replace with remaining linchpins (#7).
Insert linchpins from the front and flip clasp shut over
the spindles towards the back.
IMPORTANT:
Do not bend spring steel mounting
bracket supporting the slow moving vehicle sign.
This bracket is purposely angled back to cause the
sign to be vertical when the rear deck is folded-up for
Pull Ropes
