7 of 23
Step 4: (Cab Installation)

See fig. 4.1. Set the deck height for the mower to
3
-
1/2”.
This will place the height adjustment lever
to a near vertical position for minimal interference
with the cab as it
’
s lowered.
4.2
Remove the doors from the cab and set aside
carefully to prevent scratching the panels.
4.3
See fig. 4.3. Remove the 3 bolts securing the
compressor bracket to the base of the rear
shipping mount and cut any zip ties holding the
hoses and wire harness to the shipping mount.
Support the compressor using a bungee cord or
rope. Do not ever use the hoses to support the
compressor or damage may occur.
Tools Required
9/16”
hex wrenches or sockets
4.4
See fig. 4.4. Position a lifting strap where shown
so that it sits roughly centered on the hinge tubes
and the ball studs on the frames.
4.5
See figure 4.5. Put tension on the lifting strap with
the overhead hoist. Remove and discard the 8
bolts holding the rear of the cab down to the rear
shipping mount as well as the 4 bolts holding the
cab to the front mounts.
Tools Required
1/2”
hex wrenches or sockets
4.6
With assistance, lift the cab and position over the
vehicle. Be sure to support the A/C compressor
so that it never hangs from the hoses.
4.7
Lower the cab slowly onto the vehicle being
careful to not scratch the fenders with the rear
edge of the floorboard. The ROPS should be
entirely inside the cab a few inches in front of the
rear of the cab. Make sure the A/C wire harness
is not pinched underneath the cab.
