Installing the Cutting Units

(For Cutting Unit Models 04610
and 04611 Only)
Parts needed for this procedure:
1 Gauge bar
1 Bolt (#10 x 5/8 inch)
1 Jam nut (#10)
3 Cutting unit
6 Washer
6 Ball stud
Procedure
Note: When sharpening, setting the height-of-cut
or performing other maintenance procedures on the
cutting units, store the cutting unit reel motors in the
support tubes on the front of the frame to prevent
damage to the hoses.
1. Remove the cutting units from the cartons. Assemble
and adjust them as listed in the cutting unit Operator's
Manual. Use the gauge bar from the loose parts kit
to adjust the height of cut.
2. Mount a washer and ball stud to each end of the
front roller on the cutting units (Figure 8).

hooking the lift hook onto the lift arm (Figure 9).

4. Slide the sleeve back on the ball joint and rotate the
pull arm down so the socket fits over the ball stud.
Release the sleeve so it slides over the stud and locks
the assemblies together (Figure 8).
5. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the
jam nuts on the pull arms, and adjust the ball sockets
until there is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) clearance
between the lip of the basket and the reel blades or
the front shield.
Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the
cutting unit forward, causing the lift roller to come
off of the lift arm while in the mowing operation.
Be sure the basket lip is equidistant from the reel
blades all across each reel. If the basket is too close
to the reel, it is possible for the reel to contact the
basket when the cutting unit is raised off of the
ground.
6. Align the sockets in the ball joints so the open side
of the socket is centered towards the ball stud.
Tighten the jam nuts to secure the sockets in position
(Figure 10).
