5WPMAN0183 (Rev. 7/9/2008)
TRAINING
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.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven­tion 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.
SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace­ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.
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.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach­ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instruc­tions.
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.
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 gan­grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON­TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
Frontier FM (Rev. 1/31/2007)
PREPARATION
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 oper­ation 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Make sure driveline guard tether chains are attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline before putting equipment into service.
Before starting the power unit, check all equip­ment 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 put­ting equipment into service.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
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.
Inspect chain shielding before each use. Replace if damaged.
Remove accumulated debris from this equip­ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.
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 dam­aged.
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.
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.
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.
Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.
OPERATION
Only engage power when equipment is at ground operating level. Always disengage power when equipment is raised off the ground.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper­ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic­ing equipment.
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 sys­tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause wings to drop unexpect­edly and cause severe injury or death.
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 any­one comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec­tive devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
Never direct discharge toward people, animals, or property.
Do not operate or transport equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
It is possible for objects to ricochet
TRANSPORTATION
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 max­imum 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
• 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.
6 Safety
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.
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.

Your dealer can supply original equipment hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute parts may not meet original equipment specifica­tions and may be dangerous.
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.
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.
Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.
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 connect safety chain from equipment to 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 pres­sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
Before working underneath, carefully read Oper­ator’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 hydrau­lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures.
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.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper­ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic­ing equipment.
Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Frequently check blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury.
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
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.
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 dam­aged.

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the cutter. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the cutter, the tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on pages 5 to 12.
This mower is designed for lawn and grass mowing. It is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for best results in lawn mowing.
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from 2 to 5 mph (3 - 8 km/h).
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 any­one comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec­tive devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.
It is possible for objects to ricochet
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR
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 dam­aged.
Never attach the mower release rope to the operator, the operator's clothing, or the tractor seat.
1. Park the mower and tractor on a level, hard-sur-
faced 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.
NOTE: When attaching mower to tractor drawbar, make sure the correct drawbar pin is used. A Category 1 drawbar is 1" (25.4 mm); Category 2 is 1.25" (31.75 mm). 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 not removing mower from tractor on a regular basis, a bolt, locknut, and washers assembled tightly will reduce wear on drawbar and hitch.
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.
The PTO drive shaft is intended for use with tractors that have 14 inches (356 mm) between the end of the PTO shaft and the tractor's drawbar hitch pin hole.
3. Attach the safety chain to the tractor as shown in Figure 1.
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
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 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.

5. Attach the end of the mower transport's lock release rope to a location on the tractor within easy reach of the operator.
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.
CV DRIVELINE TURNING LIMITS
NOTICE
Do not exceed turning angle of 80 degrees at the head of the Constant Velocity (CV) driveline or damage will occur.
Check for excessive turn angle:
1. Disconnect the driveline from the tractor.
2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.
3. Shut off the engine and connect the CV driveline to
the tractor. If it cannot be connected, the turn angle is too severe.
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 operat­ing 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.
Follow this procedure to level the flex mower for opera­tion:
1. Park the tractor and mower on a flat level surface with the decks in mowing position.
2. Inflate all tires to the recommended pressure: 70 psi (483 kPa) for trailer tires and 30 psi (207 kPa) for deck gauge tires.
3. Level the trailer frame by adjusting the hitch. (See Figure 2.)
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.
6. Tighten the hardware to specifications in the Bolt Torque Chart on page 57. Frame level must be readjusted each time the drawbar height changes.
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.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Before working underneath, carefully read Oper­ator’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 hydrau­lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures.
NOTICE
Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to mower and drive.
1. Level mower from side to side. Check by measur-
ing from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail.
2. Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms.
3. Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm assem­bly to deck.
4. Set mower on the ground.

WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
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.
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.
Power for operating the mower is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for instruc­tions 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.
NOTICE
Stopping the mower with belt in contact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.
To reduce the risk of thrown objects, do not raise the mower higher than necessary.
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.
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.
Operating Technique
Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit, using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.
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.
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.
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 par­tially rebound.
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.
OPERATING
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.
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.
16 Operation
Operating Tips
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.
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.

Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce-
WARNING
dure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain type: hilly, level, or rough.
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the right. This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.

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.
It is possible for objects to ricochet
BLOCKING METHOD
The only approved blocking devices for this mower are jackstands with a load rating of 1,000 pounds (454 kg) or more. Twelve jackstands, located as shown in Fig­ure 6, must be installed before working underneath this unit.
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine is stopped, power unit is properly secured, equip­ment and all components are lowered to the ground, and system pressure is released by oper­ating all valve control levers.
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 pres­sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
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 any­one comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec­tive devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing
Figure 6. Jackstand Placement
Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly attached to tractor and blocked securely. When prop­erly 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.
When blocking, you must consider the overall stability of the unit. Just placing jack stands 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.

The information in this section is written for dealer ser­vice personnel. The repair described here requires special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead to replace complete assemblies.
Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop­ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or mechanical component failure.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
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.
BLOCKING METHOD
Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly attached to the tractor and blocked securely. When properly attached, the unit will be anchored to minimize front to rear movement.
The only approved blocking device for this mower is a jackstand with a load rating of 1000 pounds (454 kg) or more. One jackstand under each corner of each deck (12 total) must be installed before working underneath this unit.
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.
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 jack­stands. 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.

Incorrect Installation
Read this entire section before starting any repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the side level plug.
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.
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor­rected immediately.
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp­erly installed seal will leak.
1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter (OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.
3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.
4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip
toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding distor­tion to the metal seal cage.
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.
Seal Installation
Vertical Shaft Repair (Figure 20)
1. Disconnect and remove the driveline from the
gearbox.
2. Remove vent plug (24) and siphon gear lube from housing through this opening.
3. Remove gearbox stand from mower deck.
4. Remove gearbox and pulley from gearbox stand.
5. Remove vertical shaft seal (18). Replace with new
seal (see Seal Replacement, page 29).
Vertical seal should be recessed in housing. Horizontal seal should be pressed flush with outside of housing.
NOTE: Distortion to seal cage or damage to seal lip will cause seal to leak.
6. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the level plug.
7. Assemble gearbox and pulley to gearbox stand. Attach gearbox stand to mower deck.

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.
