ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS The mower is shipped mostly assembled but requires dealer set-up. The Frontier dealer should deliver the mower to the owner completely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal conditions. Recommended torque values for hardware are located on page 61. Complete check lists on page 38 when assembly is complete.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death. Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result.

34 Assembly
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic operation and allows loads or equipment components to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all hydraulic functions several times. Do this before p ut t i n g i n t o s e r v i c e o r a l l o w i n g a n y o n e t o approach the equipment.
