3. Connect the two black ground cables (one connected to
the engine base, the other to the machine frame) to the
negative (–) post of the battery. Secure it with a wrench
and coat the terminal with petroleum jelly.

with the wing nuts.
5. Place the terminal cover over the positive (+) battery
post.

pivoting the steering wheel to the desired operating
position, and tightening the screws (Fig. 4).

Installing the Cutting Units

For Cutting Unit Models 04404, 04406,
04408, 04450, and 04468
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 per the cutting unit Operator's Manual.
Use the gauge bar from the loose parts kit to adjust the
height of cut.

4. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units and
the reel drive motor shafts. Coat the spline shaft of the
motor with clean grease and install the motor by
rotating the motor clockwise so the motor flanges clear
the studs. Rotate the motor counterclockwise until the
flanges are encircling the studs and tighten the
mounting nuts (Fig. 6).
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.
5. 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. 7).
