3. Slide the cutting unit under the pull frame while

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 (Fig. 9).
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 in. (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 (Fig. 11).

7. Assemble the mounting capscrews for the reel drive

8. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units and
the reel drive motor shafts.
Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units.
Install them whenever the reel drive motors are removed to
protect the cutting unit bearings from contamination.
9. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the end
of the cutting unit with #2 general purpose grease.
10. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease and
install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise so that
the motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate the motor
counterclockwise until the flanges are encircling the
studs. Tighten the mounting capscrews (Fig. 12).

Rear Ballast

This unit complies with the ANSI B71.4–1999 Standard
when 40 lb. of calcium chloride ballast is added to the rear
wheel.
Important If a puncture occurs in a tire with calcium
chloride, remove the unit from the turf area as quickly as
possible. To prevent possible damage to the turf,
immediately soak the affected area with water.
