7 OPERATION
7.6 REEL MOTOR MOUNTING _____________________________________________
1. The cutting head motor mounting adaptor, coupling
and hardware are shipped in the step located above
the left front wheel. Install a 1.49" i.d. x .07" (38mm x
1.7mm) O-ring on the male side of motor adapter
plate and a 1.99" i.d. x .07" (50mm x 1.7mm) O-ring
on the reel motor mount face.
2. Remove and discard screws holding the shipping
cover to cutting head (retain the shipping cover to
protect the bearings whenever the motor is removed
from the cutting head).
3. Install coupler (A) on cutting head shaft.
4. Install motor adapter plate (B) positioning the male
face and O-ring (C) toward the cutting head.
5. Install two (2) 5/16-18 x 1 1/2” screws (with washer
and lock washer) loosely into the mounting holes.
6. Align the splines on the motor shaft with the coupler
(A) and slide the motor into place rotating
approximately 45° away from the mounting screws.
With motor face against adapter plate (B), rotate the
motor mounting flange into place engaging the
screws into the motor mounting flange slots. Tighten
screws to 18ft/lbs (24 N·m).
7. Add lithium based lubricant to the bearing housings at BOTH ends of the reels bearings at both ends are
partially packed with lubricant at the factory, but additional lubricant is required once assembled. Use a
grease gun to add lubricant until it starts to escape from the fittings. Wipe off any excess lubricant.
NOTE: Check to MAKE SURE when the cutting heads are lowered to the turf, they must contact the turf
evenly across the entire length of the cutting head. If the front cutting heads contact the level surface
unevenly, refer to the adjustment section in the parts and maintenance manual.
