Setting Up
Instructions

Remove Mower From Carton

1. Slit four corners of carton so sides lie flat.
2. Remove shipping caps from wheel hubs.
Note: Keep the shipping caps. They can be installed on
wheel hubs to prevent grinding dust from entering wheel
bearing whenever reel is ground.
Check Wheel Hubs And Install
Wheels
1. Rotate wheel hub (Fig. 1) to check bearing adjustment.
A slight drag must be felt when hub is rotated. If drag is
not evident, tighten wheel hub nut (Fig. 1) until slight
drag is felt when hub is rotated.

Important
Do not over–tighten wheel hub nut because
the bearing will wear rapidly.
2. Check O–ring to assure it is not damaged, and make
sure it is seated in inside diameter of wheel hub (Fig. 1).
Important An O–ring that is damaged or installed
incorrectly will allow oil to leak out of the gear case. If
enough oil leaks out, mechanical damage will likely result.
3. If pneumatic wheels are installed, set tire pressure at
35 psi (241.3 Kpa).

4. Install drive wheels with capscrews and lockwashers
(Fig. 2). Do not try to install wheels over the shipping
caps.

Gear Case Oil

1. Position mower on a level surface.
2. Raise and block back of mower until there is
approximately 10–1/4 inches (0.260 m) between bottom
of gear case extending behind roller bracket and level
surface (Fig. 3).

3. Remove filler plug from inside of each gear case
(Fig. 3). Check oil level in gear case: it should be level
with bottom of filler hole. If oil is level with bottom of
hole, reinstall filler plug.
