TOOLS NEEDED
The following tools (not included or drawn to scale) are needed for assembly:
UNPACKING
• Remove the hardware securing the corner and side braces to the frame bottom, then lift the braces to
remove.
WARNING!
Do not discard the hardware to avoid any personal injury.
• Cut the nylon straps securing the front and rear wheel axles to the frame.
• Remove and set aside all accessible packaging and wrap from unit and parts. Do not discard the
packing material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the product.
WARNING!
If any parts on the Parts List are already assembled to your product when you unpack it, verify
the part is assembled correctly, are properly tightened, and is torqued correctly (where applicable)
before proceeding to the next assembly step. Use of a product that may have been improperly
assembled could result in serious personal injury.
• Inspect the product carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping.
• If any parts are damaged or missing, please call Yard Force customer service.
NOTE:
Mower should be assembled while positioned on the frame bottom. Once assembly is complete,
raise the cutting deck to its highest position. Position a board such as a standard 50x100 mm along the
front of the pallet to create a gradual transition between the frame and the ground. Slowly drive the mower
forward.
WARNING!
Use care when driving the mower off of the frame and press the brake pedal as needed to
control the speed. The mower will freely roll if it is moved on an inclined surface without
pressing the brake pedal or setting the parking brake. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in loss of control and result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage.
NOTICE!
Driving the mower off the frame in the forward direction without a transition board can
cause damage to the mower’s cutting deck.
