DANGER!
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or
even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the
operator, bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone
is within 100 yards of mower. (SFL-1)
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
(but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Steel Guards,
Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields , and Retractable
Door Shields should be used and maintained in good
working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken
components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be
replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or
death from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SFL-5)
Side & Rear flail Safety Section 1-7
SAFETY
DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such
impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very
high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such
obstacles. (SGM-4)
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before
mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent
machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that
cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by
the operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign
object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is
balanced before resuming mowing. (SGM-5)
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could
then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such
a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or
even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to
contact such items. (SGM-6)
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type,
density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph.
Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes,
ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and
foreign objects are to be avoided. (SGM-7)
WARNING!
DANGER!
WARNING!
Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure
there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when
mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely
operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you
have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-8)
Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY
CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
BLADES. (SGM-10)
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors
with the windows closed. (SGM-11)

SAFETY
DANGER!
DANGER!
Flail Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects
for great distances (100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or
death. Follow safety messages carefully.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good,
working condition;
-Mower Head is running close to and parallel to the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign
material such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris
has been removed.
NOTE:
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the decks are securely blocked up. (SFL-2)
Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final height. (SFL-6)
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1,000 pounds contact with
the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which
could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel
tread and add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions
or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Couterweight
Procedure. (SFL-3)
Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO
and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source
of the vibration. If Mower blades are missing or damaged replace
them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have
been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the
Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and
broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce
the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never
allow the Mower to be operated with blades missing. (SFL-4)
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor.
Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual
steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to
the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the
front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tipover. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of
steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury.
Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious
damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator
or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)

DANGER!
WARNING!
WARNING!
DANGER!
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before
performing service on the Mower. Never work on the Mower with the
tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Blades or Drivelines could
turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death.
(SRM-3)
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower
deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially
serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from
objects thrown from the Blades.
Never leave Tractor and Implement unattended while the implement is in
the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure
may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. To
properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor, lower
the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure
support under the A-Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground.
Do not put hands or feet under lifted components. (SPT-1)

Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work. (S3PT-9)
Make sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow
ample clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the
wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.
(S3PT-5)
When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised
and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use
extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement
could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting
in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement may overturn. (STI-2)
DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death. (STI-3)

With an overhead hoist and / or jack-stands, raise one side of the frame up to the
correctly matching mounting holes. Install cap screws and all other hard ware as shown in
main frame parts section to secure the sides of the main frame to the tractor casting, DO
NOT tighten at this time. Remove the capscrews one at a time and apply a thread locking
agent. Reinsert the capscrews and tighten / torque to values noted in the torque chart
located in the maintenance section of this manual.
Thread the pump drive shaft into the crankshaft adapter.
Slide splined drive shaft coupler onto the pump drive shaft. Install the pump onto the
mounting bracket. NOTE: the pump is offset to one direction, the pump should be installed

with the offset side on top. Install hardware for securing pump to the pump mount, DO NOT
tighten.
Install pump and align so that splined coupling can be moved (FREE PLAY) back and
forth by hand. Rotate coupler and check free play every 1/4 turn. Tighten pump mounting
bolts in succession rechecking for spline coupling free play. Remove the pump mounting
bracket bolts one at a time and apply a thread locking agent. Tighten these bolts in
succession, again checking for free play in the drive shaft. After all bolts are torqued, the end
play on the drive shaft should be 1/16” to 1/8”, and coupler should move freely with hand
pressure. If end play is less than 1/16”, grind the end of the shaft to achieve the proper end
play. If there is more than 1/4” of end play, return the shaft with specifications for a longer
shaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE ATTACHED,
TANK IS FILLED WITH PROPER OIL AND BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! STARTING AT
THIS TIME WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.

ADJUSTING REAR WHEELS
Raise rear of tractor onto jack-stands. Follow the instructions in the tractor owners
manual for adjusting tires and rims. The back wheels MUST be adjusted to the widest
setting. NOTE: This may require switching the wheels to opposite sides of tractor. Also take
note of any width restrictions when transporting by trailer. (For ease of installation, it is best to
leave the rear wheels removed during installation of the mower.)

4WD FRONT TIRE ADJUSTMENT
In order to prevent interference with mounted equipment, the front wheels on a 4WD
5101E tractor will have to be adjusted to approximately 64” center to center distance as
shown below. Please refer to your John Deere Maintenance Manual to see the correct
rim and tire configuration to achieve this. Double check the wheel spacing after
adjustment by oscillating and turning the tires fully to check for any interference.
