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.
(SGM-2)
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.
(SGM-3)
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.
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)
(SGM-5)
WARNING!
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)
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the decks are securely blocked up. (SGM-9)
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.
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors
with the windows closed. (SGM-11)
(SGM-10)
Safety Section 1-8
SAFETY
DANGER!
WARNING!
Rotary 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:
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 Counterweight
Procedure. (SFL-3)
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.
(SFM-6)
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
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)
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. (SRM-7)
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)
Safety Section 1-9
WARNING!
SAFETY
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 tip-over. 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)
WARNING!
DANGER!
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the Tractor has been
turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake
has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of
rotation has ceased. (SBM-5)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Implement as in all power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER!
This machine is often operated in rough terrain conditions that include tall
grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and the like.
Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the
safety of the operator and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. (S3PT-7)
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)
DANGER!
DANGER!
This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating
or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running
into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other
solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor
to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or
even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
The flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same
rotation as the tractor wheels during forward travel). Never operate the
cutter shaft in the reverse rotation. Operating this mower in reverse
rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of the mower
head.

2. Apply a light 2-3 mm bead of TY15969 retaining compound around the leading edge of the crankshaft
nose.
3. Dip damper mounting caps crew in clean SAE30 engine oil (Always use a new cap screw)
4. Position damper/pulley on the crankshaft and thread cap screw up tight (do not rely on the cap screw to
pull the pulley straight onto the taper)
5. Tighten cap screw to specification 500Nm (369lb-f t) (the engine will most likely have to be pinned)
6. Measure run-out on the pulley, spec is 0.003” or less

ASSEMBLY
CABLE CONTROL LEVER STAND
On the corner cab post, mark a point at 1-3/8” from the windshield and 22 ½” from
thefloor; then cut a ¾” diameter hole through the outer plastic shell. This will expose a threaded
steel boss to attach the control box support bracket.
The rear corner of the cable control stand is
placed approximately 5 ¾” from the edge of the mat.
The front edge of the stand is up against the corner
cab post and the door sill lip of the mat. Before you
mark or drill any holes, check for support plates or
wires under the mat & the cab floor. NOTE: Cutting
into plates or wires makes more work for everyone
and could be dangerous. When you know where the
wires/plates lie, mark one of the mounting holes. Drill
a 3/8” hole through the mat and through the floor of
the cab. Next, lift the mat up and mark the other two
holes on the cab floor. Drill the holes through the
floor. Mark the mat and drill the other two 3/8” holes.
Use a 1” hole saw and cut a 1” hole through the mat
over each 3/8” hole. Secure the stand to the floor with the spacers, capscrews and nylock
nuts provided.
Cut a 1 ¾” hole in the floor to route the cables and wires through. It needs to have a
¼” clearance for the trim lock. Before you mark or drill any holes, check for support plates
or wires under the cab floor.
NOTE: Cutting into plates or wires makes more work
for everyone and could be dangerous. Look under the
floor for cables and plates that you need to avoid. The
hole should be approximately 4 ½” from the door sill
and 4 ¾” from the lip of the mat under the console.
Install the trim lock around the metal edges of the hole,
then route the control cables and wires through the
hole.
Next, wrap the cables with the 6” split hose at
the point they pass through the hole, and secure the zip-ties. Apply R TV sealer in and
around individual cables and split hose, inside and outside of the cab for a water tight seal.
Install upper support bracket from cab post to the control lever stand.

ASSEMBLY
CABLE SWITCH BOX WIRING
Refer to the parts section for wiring diagram to hook up the switch box. Cover all
the wires from the switch box with plastic wire wrap provided. Route the wires from
the switch box to the front console panel as shown on previous page. Remove the
console panel under the steering wheel to access tractor wires. Locate the blue
colored wire. Using a test light or meter to verify this wire is the neutral safety
wire. Cut the blue wire and connect the green wires from the switch box as
shown in the wiring diagram.
To run the white wire to the solenoid valve, you will need to drill a hole in the front
edge of the cab floor on the right side of the front console. Insert a rubber grommet
into the hole to protect the wire, and route the wire out of the cab.
The red wire is to be hooked to the tractor ignition switch or an available slot in the
fuse box. NOTE: +12 VOLTS ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE TAKEN FROM
A SOURCE LOCATION WHERE IT IS LIVE ONLY WHEN THE IGNITION
SWITCH IS IN THE “ON” POSITION. THIS WIRE MUST BE FUSED AT THE
SOURCE LOCATION
The travel lock red wire from the switch box should also run with the white wire
through the rubber grommet and be covered with wire wrap. This wire will be
connected to the electronic travel lock located on the main boom cylinder. The wires
from the switch box are longer than needed and should be carefully cut and
spliced as required. Zip ties should be used to secure the wires to the tractor
framework and boom hoses to eliminate vibation and rubbing.
Cut slot in right side panel of steering column to run wires from switch box.
NOTE: When cutting or drilling hole, be sure not to damage existing wires running
behind panels.

CABLE VALVE MOUNTING PLATE (CAB)
Align the mounting bracket to the existing holes on top of the tractor remote valve at
the rear of the tractor. Secure the bracket to the tractor with hardware shown in the
parts section of the manual. Attach the valve mounting plate to the valve mounting
bracket on the rear to the tractor as shown below. Then place and secure the lift valve
on top of the mounting plate. Install the control cables and route the hydraulic lines from
the lift valve to the hydraulic cylinders as noted on the lift valve page of the parts section.
