SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
PREPARATION  
Safety is a primary concern in the design and  
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our  
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped  
out by an operator’s single careless act.  
Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-  
ation and allows loads or equipment components  
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment  
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,  
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all  
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before  
putting into service or allowing anyone to  
approach the equipment.  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,  
judgement, and proper training of personnel  
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance  
and storage of equipment.  
It has been said “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that  
kind of operator.  
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and  
valves are in good condition and not leaking before  
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and  
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses  
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,  
pinched, or come into contact with any moving  
parts. Operate moveable components through full  
operational range to check clearances. Replace  
any damaged hoses immediately.  
TRAINING  
Safety instructions are important! Read all  
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all  
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-  
ment manuals and safety decals are available from  
your dealer.) Failure to follow instructions or safety  
rules can result in serious injury or death.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
When attaching a pull-type unit to the tractor  
drawbar, always use a high-strength drawbar pin.  
The drawbar pin must have a device that will lock it  
into position. Secure safety chain to attachment  
and tractor.  
Operators must be instructed in and be capable  
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-  
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to  
operate this equipment without proper instruc-  
tions.  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
If equipped with driveline guard tether chains,  
make sure they are attached to the tractor and  
equipment as shown in the pamphlet that accom-  
panies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken.  
Check that driveline guards rotate freely on drive-  
line before putting equipment into service.  
Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
Before starting the power unit, check all equip-  
ment driveline guards for damage. Replace any  
damaged guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely  
on all drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on  
drivelines, repair and replace bearings before put-  
ting equipment into service.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)  
Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or  
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely  
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death  
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable  
ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.  
OPERATION  
Only engage power when equipment is at  
ground operating level. Always disengage power  
when equipment is raised off the ground.  
Inspect chain shielding before each use.  
Replace if damaged.  
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
Never walk, stand, or place yourself or others  
under a raised wing or in the path of a lowering  
wing. Hydraulic system leak-down, hydraulic sys-  
tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement of  
control levers can cause wings to drop unexpect-  
edly and cause severe injury or death.  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with  
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor  
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not  
estimate.  
Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from  
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing  
condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet  
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
Never attach the mower release rope to the  
operator, the operator's clothing, or the tractor  
seat.  
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
Make test turns, both left and right. Check that  
both the hydraulic hose and the mower transport  
lock release rope do not become taut or caught on  
any parts of the tractor or mower.  
or property.  
Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.  
TRANSPORTATION  
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from  
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
The maximum transport speed for towed and  
semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).  
Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the  
towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s max-  
imum transport speed. Doing so could result in:  
• Loss of control of the implement and tractor  
• Reduced or no ability to stop during braking  
• Implement tire failure  
Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or  
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely  
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death  
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable  
ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.  
• Damage to the implement or its components.  
Use additional caution and reduce speed when  
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on  
inclines.  
Do not operate PTO during transport.

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)  
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to  
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-  
nents in any way.  
Always sit in power unit seat when operating  
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat  
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,  
and ensure all other controls are disengaged  
before starting power unit engine.  
Your dealer can supply original equipment  
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute  
parts may not meet original equipment specifica-  
tions and may be dangerous.  
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.  
Do not operate mowers on terrain that raises  
mowers beyond 25 degrees. Exceeding this design  
limit will result in U-joint “knocking noise” and  
potential driveline failure and could cause driveline  
to pull apart.  
To prevent contamination, clean and then cover  
hose ends, fittings, and motor ports with tape.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
Before raising or lowering wings, front hitch/lift  
and rear wheel/lift cylinders must be fully extended  
and all four cylinder locks installed. This prevents  
rotor and bearing support damage that can result  
from ground contact.  
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
Look down and to the rear and make sure area  
is clear before operating in reverse.  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,  
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.  
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
operation.  
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless  
or improper handling may result in serious injury.  
Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement  
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original  
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.  
Always connect safety chain from equipment to  
Tighten all bolts, nuts and screws to torque  
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are  
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe  
condition before putting unit into service.  
towing vehicle when transporting.  
MAINTENANCE  
Before dismounting power unit or performing  
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:  
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point  
hitch and all raised components to the ground,  
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-  
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,  
and unfasten seat belt.  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-  
ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline,  
raise mower, securely block up all corners with  
jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking  
prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau-  
lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or  
mechanical component failures.  
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine is  
stopped, power unit is properly secured, equip-  
ment and all components are lowered to the  
ground, and system pressure is released by oper-  
ating all valve control levers.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
This section provides information for attaching the  
mower to the tractor and preparing it for field operation.  
Review this data prior to tractor hook-up and operation.  
Lower mower to the ground when not in use.  
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR  
Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from  
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing  
condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet  
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).  
Never attach the mower release rope to the  
operator, the operator's clothing, or the tractor  
seat.  
1. Park mower and tractor on a level, hard-surfaced  
area.  
2. Adjust tractor hitch bracket on trailer frame so the  
trailer is level when attached to the tractor. Pin the  
mower to the tractor.  
Before dismounting power unit or performing  
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:  
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point  
hitch and all raised components to the ground,  
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-  
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,  
and unfasten seat belt.  
NOTE: When attaching mower to tractor drawbar,  
make sure the correct drawbar pin is used. A Category  
1 drawbar is 1"; Category 2 is 1.25". Failure to use the  
correct pin size will result in premature wear of hitch  
and drawbar hole. If the hitch on the mower doesn't  
match your tractor drawbar, contact your dealer to  
order the correct size hitch for your tractor. If mower  
will be attached to tractor for a long period of time,  
secure hitch to drawbar using a bolt, locknut, and  
washers assembled tightly. This will reduce wear on  
drawbar and hitch.  
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
A 1-3/8" 6B spline PTO shaft is used for connecting the  
mower to the tractor. This mower is designed for 540  
rpm PTO only.  
Keep bystanders away from equipment.

2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.  
5. Attach the end of the mower’s transport lock  
release rope to a location on the tractor within easy  
reach of the operator.  
3. Shut off the engine and connect the CV driveline to  
the tractor. If it cannot be connected, the turn angle  
is too severe.  
NOTE: When routing the rope, do not route through the  
hydraulic hose guide and do not allow rope slack to  
drop between the driveline shields and the gearbox  
rotating shafts.  
4. Restart the tractor and straighten the angle slightly.  
5. Shut off the engine and connect the CV driveline to  
tractor.  
6. Repeat the process until the driveline can be  
connected. The point at which the driveline can be  
connected is the maximum turn that can be made.  
Leveling Mower  
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory mower performance, the  
trailer frame and decks must be leveled before operat-  
ing the mower. During normal operation, the mower  
should be leveled twice each season. The mower must  
be leveled each time a tractor with a different drawbar  
height is used.  
Figure 1. Tow Chain Installation  
Attaching Hydraulic Hoses  
Follow this procedure to level the mower for operation:  
1. Attach the hydraulic hose from the mower to the

with the decks in mowing position.  
2. Route the hose through the hose guide of the  
trailer frame and be sure the hose can slide freely  
in the guide. Do not allow hose slack to drag on the  
ground or become caught on tractor protrusions.  
2. Inflate all tires to the recommended pressure: 70  
psi for trailer tires and 30 psi for deck gauge tires.  
3. Level the trailer frame by adjusting the hitch. (See  
Figure 2.)  
3. From the operator position, start the tractor, raise  
and lower the wings, and the rear deck several  
times. This will purge the hydraulic cylinders and  
hoses of trapped air.  
4. Remove the hitch clevis from the trailer frame and  
pin to the tractor drawbar.  
5. Use the parking jack to adjust the trailer frame to  
the level position. Align the nearest hitch  
adjustment hole in the hitch clevis with a hole in the  
trailer frame.  
Interference Check  
1. Be sure that the tractor 3-point arms do not  
interfere with hydraulic hoses, driveline or mower  
frame.  
6. Tighten the hardware to specifications in the Bolt  
Torque Chart on page 61. Readjust the level of the  
frame each time the drawbar height changes.  
2. Check for straight ahead operation and full turning  
angles. If there is any interference, remove the 3-  
point arms.  
7. Attach the mower and the driveline to the tractor.  
Level the driveline by placing a bolt through the  
carrier bearing and the driveline height adjustment  
holes.  
NOTE: Contact between 3-point arms and mower  
can cause damage, especially when turning.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-  
ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline,  
raise mower, securely block up all corners with  
jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking  
prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau-  
lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or  
mechanical component failures.

TRANSPORT  
When transporting the mower short distances, raise  
the wings and the rear deck until all three transport  
locks engage automatically.  
STARTING AND STOPPING MOWER  
Install locking pins to secure the mower wings for  
transport as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.  
Do not operate PTO during transport.  
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.  
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from  
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
CAUTION  
Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
Always sit in power unit seat when operating  
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat  
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,  
and ensure all other controls are disengaged  
before starting power unit engine.  
Figure 4. Lock Pin Installed (Right Wing)  
NOTICE  
Stopping the mower with belt in contact with a  
very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.  
Power for operating the mower is supplied from the  
tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for instruc-  
tions on engaging and disengaging the PTO.  
Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and  
mower quickly in case of an emergency.  
If the mower becomes plugged causing the belt to slip  
for over two seconds, follow these steps:  
1. Raise mower just enough to clear accumulated  
material.  
2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing  
pulleys to cool.  
To reduce the risk of thrown objects, do not raise the  
mower higher than necessary  
OPERATING  
Figure 5. Lock Pin Storage Installed  
(Rear Deck)  
To lower the wings and the rear deck:  
Do not operate mowers on terrain that raises  
mowers beyond 25 degrees. Exceeding this design  
limit will result in U-joint “knocking noise” and  
potential driveline failure and could cause driveline  
to pull apart.  
1. Remove the locking pins and store in holes  
provided.  
2. Slightly raise the wings and rear deck to take  
pressure off the locking mechanisms.  
16 Operation  
5WPMAN0862 (11/22/2010)  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
When engaging the PTO, engine rpm should always be  
low. Once engaged and ready for mowing, increase  
PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain speed throughout  
the cutting operation.  
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set mower  
at a higher cutting height for the first pass. Then cut at  
desired height 90 degrees to the first pass.  
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and  
require less power.  
Mower vibration tends to loosen bolts. All hardware  
should be checked regularly to maintain proper torque.  
Each time the mower is used, check all hardware to be  
sure it is secure. Recommended torque values can be  
found on page 61.  
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce-  
dure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain  
type: hilly, level, or rough.  
The condition of the terrain will determine cutting  
results. For best results, mower blades should be kept  
sharp at all times and the platform as level as possible.  
When mower blades show excessive wear, they  
should be replaced.  
Uneven Terrain  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Operating Technique  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
CAUTION  
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
slopes and rough terrain.  
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
operation.  
In extremely uneven terrain, rear wheel weights, front  
tractor weights and/or front tire ballast should be used  
to improve stability.  
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the  
height, type, and density of material to be cut.  
Normally, ground speed will range from two to five  
mph. Tall dense material should be cut at a low speed;  
thin medium-height material can be cut at a faster  
ground speed.  
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp  
drops to prevent “hanging up” the tractor and the  
mower. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering  
rough terrain.  
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain  
proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.  
Avoid sudden starts and stops when traveling up or  
down hill.  
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some  
grass down and prevent it from being cut at the same  
height as the surrounding area. When this occurs,  
reduce your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540  
rpm. The lower ground speed will permit grass to par-  
tially rebound.  
Always mow down slopes, never up or across the face.  
Avoid operating on steep slopes.  
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tip-  
ping and losing control.  
In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut  
with less tendency to leave tire tracks. However, it is  
better to cut grass frequently rather than too short.  
Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and  
invites weed growth during growing seasons. Follow  
local recommendations for the suitable cutting height in  
your area.  
REMOVING MOWER FROM TRACTOR  
1. Park the unit on a level, hard surface with the  
wings and rear deck fully lowered to the ground.  
2. Block the wheels to keep the mower from rolling  
when unhitched from tractor.  
3. Attach the jack to the side of the tongue and adjust  
Operating Tips  
the height to take the weight off the tractor hitch.  
4. Disconnect the PTO shaft and the hydraulic hose,  
untie the mower transport lock release rope from  
the tractor, and remove the hitch pin.  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
5. Store the PTO shaft end and the hydraulic hose  
couplings off the ground and keep them clean.

OWNER SERVICE  
The information in this section is written for operators  
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,  
your dealer has trained service technicians available.  
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-  
tion in this manual  
CAUTION  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
BLOCKING METHOD  
The only approved blocking devices for this mower are  
jack stands with a load rating of 1,000 pounds or more.  
Twelve jack stands, located as shown in Figure 6, must  
be installed before working underneath this unit.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk  
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-  
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from  
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing  
condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet  
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).  
Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
Figure 6. Jackstand Placement  
Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly  
attached to tractor and blocked securely. When prop-  
erly attached, the unit will be anchored to minimize  
front to rear movement.  
Before blocking, be sure that the mower is securely  
attached to the tractor. Lower mower units to the  
ground. Raise the mower units as needed for working  
room and securely block them. Set tractor brakes, turn  
engine off and remove key, then disconnect mower  
driveline.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine is  
stopped, power unit is properly secured, equip-  
ment and all components are lowered to the  
ground, and system pressure is released by oper-  
ating all valve control levers.  
When blocking, you must consider the overall stability  
of the unit. Just placing jackstands under the unit will  
not ensure your safety. The working surface must be  
level and solid to support the loaded weight of the jack  
stands. Ensure that jackstands are stable at both top  
and bottom. Before working under any portion of the  
mower, test the stability of your blocking with the full  
weight of the mower units lowered onto the jackstands.  
Before dismounting power unit or performing  
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:  
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point  
hitch and all raised components to the ground,  
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-  
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,  
and unfasten seat belt.

Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching  
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication  
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient. Use  
SAE 90W gear lube in gearboxes.  
LUBRICATION INFORMATION  
CAUTION  
When lubricating telescoping PTO drives, keep  
fingers out of shield access slots to prevent injury.  
Daily lubrication of PTO slip joints is necessary. Failure  
to maintain proper lubrication can result in damage to  
U-joints, gearboxes and/or drive shafts. Raise or lower  
mower until grease fittings in PTO shields are exposed.  
Insert grease gun through slots and apply grease to all  
sides of shafts. Always stand clear of mower and wing  
arm mechanism to avoid being pinched or crushed  
should the mower or wing suddenly lower.  
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,  
particularly when operating in sandy areas.  
Figure 7 and Figure 8 shows lubrication points. The  
accompanying charts give the frequency of lubrication  
in operating hours, based on normal operating condi-  
tions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more  
frequent lubrication.  
Raise and lower mower after applying grease so that it  
spreads over the slip joint working area.  
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY  
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless  
otherwise noted.

Belt Replacement  
CAUTION  
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper  
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol-  
lowing:  
Use care when installing or removing belt from  
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when  
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-  
sonal injury.  
1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.  
2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.  
4. Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm.  
3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.  
Position the belt around drive pulley A.  
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non-  
flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial  
detergent and water.  
5. Loosen the bolt holding belt guide G and swing it  
away from pulley B. Route the belt around pulley D  
as shown.  
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use  
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over  
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and  
premature belt failure.  
6. Make sure the belt is on drive pulley A; route  
around idler F.  
7. Grasp the belt between spindle pulley B and  
spindle pulley D. Drive pulley A. Pull spring loaded  
idler with belt to obtain enough belt length to route

Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings,  
seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a  
housing is not cost effective. It is more economical to  
purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other  
than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is  
required.  
5. Remove castle nut and hardware from output shaft  
of gearbox.  
6. Remove sheave (19) from gearbox.  
7. Remove four bolts (63) and lock nuts (59) that  
attach gearbox to gearbox stand and remove  
gearbox.  
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.  
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-  
rected immediately.  
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and  
side-to-side or end play in gear shafts.  
Seal Replacement  
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Permatex  
Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.  
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets  
and shaft seals.  
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be  
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

BOLT TORQUE CHART  
Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specific  
application.  
Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list.  
Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware: SAE for SAE hardware and Metric for metric hardware.  
Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.  
All torque values are given to specifications used on hardware defined by SAE J1701 MAR 99 & J1701M JUL 96.
