Safety Section 1-4

SAFETY

WARNING! The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats,

safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all
times for protection from injury including injury from items thrown by
the equipment. (SG-16)

CAUTION!

WARNING!

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMA­NENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement at-

tached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in
the operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an ex­tended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the operator over an extended period of time will cause
permanent or total hearing loss. Note: Hearing loss from loud noise
[from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the
ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SG-I7)

Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries
can result from operating this equipment at unsafe speeds.
Understand the T ractor and Implement and how it handles before
transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor
steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly .

the safe transport speeds for you and the equipment.

Make

sure you abide by the following rules:

1.

T est the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.

Apply the brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics

of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the

Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum

safe transport speed for you and this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed

2.

through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate
at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed
when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you
and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you

3.

have determined are safe and which allow you to properly
control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor
with weak or faulty brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet
or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme
care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be
aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)

where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of
the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify
passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type
of items discontinue mowing. (SGM-1)

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.

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

or excess stress on the hoses. The steering and front axle travel should also be
carefully moved through their full range of motion. If any condition occurs in which
the hoses contact the tires, the steering and / or front axle travel may need to be
limited as described in the tractor operators manual. This should also be done if the
tires rub, or are extremely close to any other part of the mower such as the hydraulic
tank or draft beam. This may include adding shims, or adjusting stop bolts in the
tractor front to solve the problem. While checking motion, you should also check
that the control circuits are connected according to the operators decal for the valve
handles.

MOWER TESTING

Take the tractor to a place free of loose objects on the ground. Operate the
cylinders through their full range of motion again, to clear the lines of air. Follow the
instructions in the operation section to operate the mower. V ibration of the mower
should be minimal at all times. After a 5 minute test run, the knife bolts should be
retorqued and once again after the first few hours of operation.

If any parts of this assembly section, or any other section of this
manual are not clearly understood you must contact your dealer or the
address on the front of this manual for assistance!

Assembly Section 2-24

OPERATION

SECTION

Operation Section 3-1

OPERATION

Safety is of primary importance to the owner / operator and to the manufacturer.

The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed,
will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death. Many of the
messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner / operator / dealer
should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards
of operating this mower during assembly, use, and maintenance.

The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a signal word, as seen below, is
intended to warn the owner / operator of impending hazards and the degree of injury
possible during operation.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH
OR VERY SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in
DEA TH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MA Y result in MINOR
INJURY.

IMPORTANT!

Identifies special instructions or procedures that, if not strictly observed, could result
in damage to, or destruction of the machine, attachments or the enviroment.

NOTE: Identifies points of particular interest for more efficient or convienient operation or

repair. (SG-1)

Before any operation of tractor and mower, the user should read and
understand the safety and operating instructions for both the tractor and
the mower. The user should also be familiar with the location and
functions of the units instruments and controls. Being familiar with the

machine and it’s controls will increase efficiency and reduce possibility of
serious injury or damage to the unit. The operator should work slowly and carefully
until he feels comfortable with the machine. Speed and skill will be att ained much
easier if the necessary time is spent to familiarize yourself with the machine and its
operations.

Since tractor makes and models vary, we recommend reading and following the

operators manual provided by the manufacturer pertaining to your particular unit.

Operation Section 3-2

OPERATION

STARTING TRACTOR AND MOWER

Check the operators manual received from the tractor manufacturer, for

their recommendation and procedures pertaining to your particular make and model.

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is

not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300

feet of the machine when mower is in operation.

Be sure the ball valves on the mower hydraulic tank are OPEN before

starting the tractor. Serious damage to the hydraulic system can occur if

the valves are not open.

Check to make sure mower switch is in the “OFF” position. The unit is

designed not to start if the switch is in the “on” position. If tractor starts

with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for

assistance.

Start the tractor and allow the instruments to stabilize. Without starting the
mower, practice positioning the boom and deck. Remember, speed and skill will be
attained easier if the necessary time is spent familiarizing yourself with the machine
and its operations. When you feel comfortable at controlling the position of the
mower, return the mower to the travel position, and transport the mower to the
desired mowing location.

If mowing for the first time with a Tiger Boom Mower, we recommend choosing a
ditch or area relatively flat with a minimum of sign posts, guard rails, etc. As always,
you should inspect the area for other objects that can cause potential hazards.

The Mower Control switch turns the mower “ON” and “OFF”. This switch is to be
in the “OFF” position to start the tractor. The tractor will not start with the switch in
the “ON” position.

If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact
your local Tiger dealership for assistance.

Operation Section 3-3

OPERATION

CONTROL LOCATION AND FUNCTIONS

The side mower height is controlled with a two or three spool valve and is
coordinated as shown below. The optional three spool valve allows for the operation
of a rear rotary mower or side ditcher . If the unit is equipped with a three spool valve,
do not operate the third spool handle unless a rear rotary or ditcher is mounted.

The rear mower height is controlled with the 3-point hitch control lever. Follow
the instructions for this control is the tractor operators manual. The tilt of the rear
mower is controlled with the third spool if the lift valve and is coordinated as shown
above.

The side and rear mower positions may optionally be controlled with the tractors
remote hydraulic connections or a combination of lift valve and remote hydraulics. If
so, determine which position of the side or rear mower is to be controlled be each
remote lever.

The side mower ON / OFF switch is located in a switch box mounted to the valve
stand or cable controls for non-cab and cab units respectively. If operating a rear
mower, the ON / OFF switch is located in the switch box with a side mower switch.

This machine may be equipped with an auxiliary oil temperature gauge, an amp
gauge or oil pressure gauge. If oil temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit,
stop mowers and see trouble shooting section for possible causes. Keep an eye on
all gauges for indication of problems.

MOWER OPERATION

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300
feet of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken
when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks and debris.
These conditions should be avoided.

The rotating parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard
rails, concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a very high velocity.
Never allow cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such
objects prior to mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.

Operation Section 3-4

OPERATION

Once on location, lower the mower deck slightly above the material to be cut, so
the mower does not have to start under a load. Bring the R.P.M. of the tractor up to
1200 and engage the side mower. If a rear mower is being used, allow the R.P.M. to
return to 1200 before engaging the rear mower.

The rotary mower deck should always be carried rather than dragged on the skid
shoes when mowing on the ground. Dragging the rotary mower heads causes an
extreme side load on the tractor resulting in premature tire wear. It also causes
excessive horsepower consumption and drastically decreases blade life. Dragging
the rear mower can also cause damage to the road. Once the necessary skill is
attained at controlling the height and position of the side rotary mower , it will be easy
to carry the mower head(s) and do a proficient job of cutting.

When cutting tall shrubs or small trees (maximum recommended size of material
to be cut is 2” diameter) begin each pass at the top of the material and work down
with each consecutive pass. Use a low speed to allow the cutting blades time to
mulch as well as cut the foliage. When the initial pass has been made, disengage
the mower and return the mower to the travel position. Return to the starting point
and make next pass, etc.

When using the rotary cutting head for trimming trees and shrubs, let the
mower saw into them. Do not lower the mower head down directly onto a
tree or stump. The mower blades are designed to cut with the end, and
misuse can cause damage to the blade and a hazardous situation for the
operator.

To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1800
– 2200 R.P.M. If the tractor slows to less than 1800 R.P.M., shift to the next lower
gear. DO NOT ride the clutch, this will cause premature clutch failure. The engine

should not be operated at any time at more than 2400 R.P.M. on the tractor
tachometer.

DO NOT use excessive force when positioning cutting head into heavy

branches or small stumps (2” diameter). Damage to the unit may result.
It is best to let the cutter head “eat away” slowly at heavy cutting jobs.

The mower will operate more efficiently in tougher conditions and with less power
if the knives are kept sharp. If the mower begins to vibrate, stop the tractor, check for
wire wrapped in the spindle or damaged knives. When replacing knives, replace all
knives with new knives to ensure proper balance so the mower will not vibrate.
Severe vibration will result, if knives with unequal wear are used. Follow the
instructions in the maintenance section closely when replacing knife blades.

If bystanders approach within 300 feet while mower is in operation turn
mower switch “OFF” immediately! After shutdown, never leave the
tractor or allow bystanders to approach within 300 FEET of the unit until all
motion stops completely.

Operation Section 3-5

OPERATION

When encountering a very severe condition which causes the tractor to stall,
disengage mower, start tractor, raise the mower from the cut. Shut tractor off and
inspect the mower, blades and disk for damage before engaging mower again.

If the blades jam or stop, disengage the clutch and raise the head slightly or back
the tractor up. Normally, this will clear the cutter head. If not, shut off the mower(s),
raise the cutter heads, turn off the tractor and set the parking brake. After all motion
stops completely, leave the tractor and clear the cutting heads manually.

After the first day of operation, all bolts should be checked and tightened securely.
This should be done periodically to ensure the bolts do not become loose and cause
damage to the tractor or mower, or injury to the operator.

REVERSE F AN OPERATION

Normal operation - Operating position is with fan switch ON (upper position)
Reversing fan to clear chaff -Reverser fan switch is to be used as follows as

necessary for clearing chaff from cooling fins:

1. Normal operating position is with fan switch ON (upper position)

2. Turn fan switch OFF (center position), wait at least 3 seconds

3. Push switch DOWN to reverse,

4. Allow chaff to clear

5. Turn fan switch OFF (center position), wait at least 3 seconds

6. Turn fan switch to ON (upper position)

Operation Section 3-6

OPERATION

TRANSPORTING MOWER

Transporting under the units own power:

When transporting between job sites or between cutting passes, the following
procedure should be followed: Shut off the power to the cutting head(s) and allow all
motion to come to a complete stop. Raise the draft beam to it’s highest position.
Raise the side mower until the deck stops against the draft beam. Raise the rear
mower with the 3-point hitch control lever. The unit is now in position for self
transportation.

Transporting unit by flatbed trailer:

Most tractors with a side mounted mower head attached will be over legal
transporting width (102” wide). For this reason, one of the following procedures
must be followed.

1: Transporting with side mower att ached: Use a loading dock or ramp to load
tractor onto the trailer. Center the tractor with the mowers att ached between the
sides of the trailer. Make sure the draf t beam and head are fully raised and secured.
Lower the rear mower onto the trailer. Secure the tractor and rear mower to the
trailer with chains. Obtain proper over-width permits and mark the vehicle and
mower as over-width as required be law. Check the tractor operators manual for any
tractor requirements to transport by flatbed trailer .

2: Transporting with side mower removed: Park the tractor and turn the engine
off. Remove the key to avoid accidental starting. Close ball valves on the hydraulic
reservoir. To avoid cont aminating the hydraulic system, make sure all fittings on the
side mower motor and solenoid control valve are clean. Disconnect the motor
pressure hose at the solenoid valve and the motor return hose at the motor. See
diagram below.

Operation Section 3-7

OPERATION

Next, switch the hose ends and reconnect to form two separate closed loops, see
diagram below. Disconnect the lift cable from the head and secure the loose end back
onto the cable with the cable clevis. Remove the keeper bolt and draft beam outer pivot
pin. Separate the mower head from the tractor . Now reinstall the pivot pin and keeper
bolts into the draft beam to prevent loss. OPEN THE BALL VALVES ON THE
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR BEFORE STARTING TRACTOR AGAIN! Serious damage
will be caused if tractor is started with the ball valves closed.

Use a loading dock or ramps to load the tractor onto the trailer , centering the
tractor between the sides of the trailer. Make sure the tractor (and rear mower) and
trailer are within legal transporting width. Lower the rear mower onto the trailer and
set the loose hide mower on the trailer. Secure the tractor and mowers to the trailer
with chains. Check the tractor operators manual for any requirements to transport
be flatbed trailer. Reverse this procedure to unload and remount the mowers af ter
transporting. Be sure all pins are secure, all connections are tight and any lost fluid
is replaced before using mowers. Use teflon tape when connecting all fittings.

Maintenance Section 4-1

MAINTENANCE

Tiger Mowers are designed for high performance and rugged durability, yet with
simplified maintenance. The purpose of this section of the manual is to help the
operator in the regular servicing of the mower. Regular maintenance at the
intervals mentioned will result in the maximum efficiency and long life of the T iger
Mower.

When you purchase a Tiger Mower you also acquire another valuable asset,
Tiger’s parts organization. Our rapid and efficient service has guaranteed the
customer satisfaction for many years. Tiger parts keep up with the demands for
efficiency , safety and endurance expected of the T iger Mower.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Be sure end of grease gun and zerks are clean before using. Debris injected

intobearings, etc. with grease will cause immediate damage.

· DO NOT use a power grease gun to lubricate bearings. These require very
small and exact amounts of lubrication. Refer to the detailed maintenance section
for specificlubrication instructions. Do Not over-grease bearings.

· Lexan windows should be washed with mild soap or detergent and luke warm
water, using a soft clean sponge or soft cloth. DO NOT use abrasive or alkaline
cleaners or metal scrapers on lexan windows!

· Be alert to maintenance indicators such as the in-tank filter pressure gauge,
hydraulic reservoir sight gauge, etc. Take the required action to correct any
problems immediately.

Release of energy from pressurized systems may cause inadvertent actuation

·
of cylinders, or sudden release of compressed springs. Before disconnecting any
hoses relieve pressure by shutting tractor off, setting cutter on ground and actuating
lift valve handles.

DO NOT use hands to check for suspected leaks in hydraulic hoses!
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury . If fluid is injected into skin, it
must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Use a small piece of wood or cardboard, not hands, to search for pin
hose leaks. Be sure all pressure is relieved whenever disconnecting
lines. Be sure all connections are tight and hoses and lines are not
damaged before applying pressure.

BREAK IN PERIOD

In addition to following the break in instructions for your particular tractor , the in-tank
hydraulic fluid filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours of service. Thereafter
the filter should be replaced every 500 hours, or yearly, which ever comes first.

Re-torque wheel lugs after first five hours of operation and periodically
thereafter. See torque specifications listed in the tractor’s service manual for your
particular model. Wheel lugs must always be re-torqued whenever a wheel is

removed and reinstalled.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL

Butyl cellosolve (for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.). The use of

masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered
paints.

To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene or VM&P naphtha are generally

effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to
soften the adhesive and promote removal.

IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incomp atible in a short-term test, it will usually be
found to be incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable
performance is no guarantee that actual end-use conditions have been duplicated.
Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and it is recommended that the
user test the products under actual end-use conditions.

RECOMMENDED FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HYDRAULIC RESERVIORS

When filling or checking the oil level, the unit should be parked on a level

surface, shut “OFF”, and allowed sufficient time to cool to ambient temperature.
Use caution when removing the pressurized breather. Do not place face over opening
when removing the breather.

The reservior should be filled to the top of the lower sight glass on the side of the
tank. Do not over-fill. The reservior has been over-filled when oil is visible in the upper
sight glass. If tank has too much oil, the excess may be expelled through the pressurized
breather.

DETAILED MAINTENANCE

REPLACEING IN-T ANK HYDRAULIC FIL TER:

Loosen the four bolts on the top cover of the filter housing. Turn cover
counter-clockwise until cover is free. Remove and replace filter. Replace
top cover and cover bolts in opposite order as removed.

Maintenance Section 4-10

MAINTENANCE

DETAILED MAINTENANCE

REPLACEING HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC FILTER ELEMENT:

Assure system has been shut down and de-pressurized. Locate High Pressure
Filter housing. Confirm that the element that is about to be installed matches the
element p/n on the filter model tag. Example: V3.0510-06 (world line 100, HD049
model) Locate the bottom of the High Pressure Bowl, and use the appropriate
spanner wrench –or- ratchet that matches the hex pattern. Using the spanner
wrench -or- ratchet and turning in a counterclockwise rotation, (looking at the bottom
of the bowl) remove the bowl from the head, The first couple rotations will seam
tight as the o-ring passes the sealing flats, once the o-ring has cleared the sealing
flats the bowl should spin freely. Taking care not to drop the bowl, finish removing
the bowl from the head. WARNING: bowl will be full of oil! Pour the oil from the
bowl into a container, this oil should be considered contaminated due to the flow
direction through the element is outside ~ in. Clean the inside of the bowl if “dirt” is
present. Remove the old element from the filter head by pulling with a rotation
motion. Dispose of the used element properly. Remove the new element from the
packaging. Using your finger , dab and lubricate the o-ring in the top of the new
element. Install the new element into and on the mounting boss with in the head;
assure that the element is fully seated on the boss. Clean and inspect the o-ring
that is affixed in the bowl, lubricate with oil. Using a clockwise rotation, screw the
bowl back into the head, assuring that the bowl has not been cross threaded into the
head. Continue “tighten” the bowl into the head, using the spanner wrench –or­ratchet, the rotation of the bowl will become tighter once the o-ring engages the
sealing flats. Once the bowl has been fully inserted into the head, and the o-ring has
reached the sealing flats, the bowl can no longer be “tightened” and bottoms out.
Once the bowl has bottomed out, “back-off” the bowl by 1/6 turn, this assures that
the o-ring is seated properly with in the sealing flats. Element change out and re­assembly is now complete. Start the machine and inspect the filter area checking
that there is no oil leaking from the filter assembly. This is first to be done at 50
hours of operation, then yearly(500 hours) or when indicated by restriction indicator.

INSPECTION OF ROTARY KNIVES

Failure to follow the following warnings and instructions may result

in serious injury or damage to the equipment or property!

DO NOT weld on the knife or bolts. Damaged or worn knives must be replaced.

1 –
2 – Knife must be replaced in sets. Knives with unequal wear may cause serious

vibration and resulting structural damage to the mower.
3 – The self-locking nuts for the knife mounting bolts must NOT be reused. If the

self-locking nut is removed from the knife mounting bolt, the nut must be replaced
with a new self-locking nut.

4 – Inspect the condition and tightness of the knife mounting bolts and disk mounting
bolts daily .

ROTARY KNIFE REPLACEMENT

1 – Be sure you have a complete matching set of new knives for replacement.
2 – Remove knives and inspect holes for damage. Also watch for cracks in the disk

around the holes.
3 – Lube threads with anti-seize, motor oil or grease. Install bolt through knife and

disk from bottom side of disk. Install new self-locking nuts and torque them to
800 oiled ft. lbs.

4 – The knives should swing freely to absorb shocks from impact when striking
objects.

WHEN CUTTING HEAVY BRUSH, KNIFE BOLTS SHOULD BE
NSPECTED HOURLY AND RETORQUED TO 1070 dry or 800 oiled
FT. LBS.

Maintenance Section 4-17

MAINTENANCE

REPLACEMENT OF ROTARY DISK

Failure to follow the following warnings and instructions may result

in serious injury or damage to the equipment or property!

The bolts that attach the knife mounting disk to the spindle must be grade 8.

These 5/8 inch bolts are to be torqued to 225 ft. lbs.

A thread locking agent may be applied to threads of all mounting bolts before they

are installed.

Disks must be inspected daily for hairline cracks between spindle
mounting bolts or around the knife mounting bolts. These cracks indicate
metal fatigue caused by severe abuse. If cracks are present, the disk must be
replaced.

Inspect the disk mounting bolts daily when checking tightness of knife mounting
bolts. If a disk mounting bolt is loose, it must be removed, threads cleaned, fresh
thread locking agent applied, and tightened to proper torque value.

If a knife mounting bolt is loose, the self locking nut must be replaced as a safety
precaution. Lubricate threads with anti-seize, grease or motor oil. Install bolts
through knife and disk from bottom side of disk. Install self locking nuts and torque
them to 800 ft. lbs.

1- WARNING: The disk alone weighs approximately 210 lbs. Be sure its weight
can be supported before attempting to replace. The use of a lift mechanism will
ease replacement.

2- Remove the six disk mounting bolts and the disk from the spindle.

3- Install new disk and align with mounting bolt holes.
4- Apply a thread locking agent to all of the mounting bolts and install the bolts

through the disk. If a bolt protector is being installed, hold the protector in place and
install the bolts through the bolt protector and disk. NOTE: Disk mounting bolts
must be Grade 8.

5- T ighten bolt s down and torque to values noted.
6- See knife replacement instructions for replacing the knives onto the new disk.

BEARING INSTALLATION

1 – Press upper bearing cup into the spindle housing.
2 – Turn the spindle housing over and press in the lower bearing cup.
3 – Place the lower bearing cone in the bearing cup. Next press the seal into the

spindle housing. The inner lip of the seal must be DOWN, towards the bearing, so
lubricant is sealed inside the housing.

4 – Install the spindle in the housing. Lightly tap the end of the spindle with a soft
faced hammer to seat the spindle against the bearing inner race.

5 – Turn the spindle housing over (up position) and fill with
(part number 06540000) to the top edge of the upper bearing cup.

6 – Support the bottom of the spindle and press the upper bearing cone and bearing
adjustment sleeve onto the spindle.

NOTE: The spindle housing must turn freely when seating the

bearing cone and sleeve.

7 – Press the two upper seals into the spindle housing. The inner lip of the seals

must be UP, away from the bearing, so excess lubricant can escape.
8 – Install the bearing adjustment nut (thin nut) so there is 1/16” clearance between

the nut and the sleeve. Install the jam washer, placing the t ab into the key-way.
Install the bearing lock nut (thin nut) and hand tighten against jam washer and
adjustment nut. See the following section for bearing adjustment.

BEARING ADJUSTMENT

1 – Clamp the bottom end of the spindle securely in a vise so the spindle housing
turns freely .

2 – Position a magnetic base dial indicator on the stationary cylinder of the spindle
housing. Locate the end of the dial indicator against the flat end of the spindle shaft.
The dial indicator will now measure accurately bearing end play .

3 – Tighten the bearing adjustment nut until there is .012 inch movement when the
spindle housing is pried upward away from the vise jaws.

4 – When there is .012 inch free play between the spindle and housing, install the
bearing lock nut (thick nut). Hold the adjusting nut securely and tighten the lock nut
to 300 ft. lbs. of torque.

5 – Af ter the lock nut is tightened, there must be .001 inch to .003 inch of free play
when lightly prying up on the spindle housing.

If the end play is correct, .001 inch to .003 inch, bend tabs up on jam washer to
prevent the lock nut from loosening.

If the end play in NOT correct, loosen the lock nut and turn the adjustment nut as
required and re-tighten the lock nut. Repeat first part of step 5.
