ASSEMBLY
A WARNING Before working underneath, raise mower to highest position and block securely. Blocking up prevents mower dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures.
A CAUTION
NOTICE ■
Gearbox was not filled at factory. It must be serviced before operating mower. Failure to service will result in damage to the gearbox. See page 16. The mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if the components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for hardware are located on page 67. Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
