ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP
The mower is shipped in 3 main assemblies in order to facilitate shipping within enclosed vans. Approximately 3 hours are required to assemble the mower into a field ready condition. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values are found on page 40. Select a suitable working area. A tractor or portable hydraulic supply is necessary to complete assembly. All required hardware is supplied with the machine.
Assembly should be completed by a competent individual who has an understanding of safe machinery operation practices and tool operation. Always use personal protection devices such as eye and ear protection during assembly. Ensure the area is free of hazards and can accommodate the assembly of the mower. Always stay clear of the machine when lowering decks during the assembly process.
WING DECKS
1.
Before removing any bolt or pin, the deck spreader fixture (PTE # 526498) needs to be placed underneath the mower frame, centered between the wing decks on the floor. This must be installed before lowering the decks to prevent the decks from pivoting underneath the mower frame.

WING DECK INSTALLATION
2.
With the TDR Spreader Fixture (526498) in place, attach a ratchet equipped strap between both wing decks using the points shown.

Brace Bar
3.
Tighten the device until enough tension is relieved from the shipping brace bar.
Remove the wire securing the flat bar to the wing, and the flat bar itself.
Be sure to stay clear of the each wing deck as you loosen the ratchet strap. The top of each deck will quickly swing outwards from the machine once tension is released from the strap.
4.
Connect the mower to a hydraulic supply. Retract the hydraulic cylinders and release the deck locks. Lower all decks until they are fully resting on the ground. Remove each pin and shipping link on each side of the deck swivel.
Never retract the wing cylinders into the lift and turn position when the decks are not attached to the wings. You will damage the wing and lock components, the force the cylinders supply is too great without the counterweight of the decks.
5.
Remove the wooden shipping blocks from the four stand-off arms.
17
6.
Lower the wing until the deck swivel mounting points align with the bushings on the wing deck. Re-install the painted 1-1/4” pins through the bushings and deck swivel. Secure the pins in place using the 3/8” bolts previously removed.
7.
Install deck stop chains on wing decks
8.
When it is safe to do so, fully raise the decks and secure each deck in the transport position with the corresponding deck locks. Ensure the deck locks function properly without binding and engage the matching lug on the wing arm properly.
9.
Inspect the front and rear stand-off arms and ensure that they engage the deck lock mounts properly. If required, lower deck to ground, loosen (3) mounting bolts on frame, adjust location of stand-off pin accordingly and re-tighten bolts.
Raise deck and re-check stand-off engagement.
10.
Remove the TDR Spreader Fixture (526498).
11.
When safe to do so, release the transport locks and carefully lower the decks to the ground.
OUTER WING DECK INSTALLATION
1.
Remove all banding from each deck pallet.
2.
Using a lifting device with a minimum 700 lb. capacity, lift each outer wing deck off of their shipping pallet and place beside each corresponding wing deck.

3.
Each outer deck assembly has the opposite wing installed on it upon shipment.
Each outer wing frame must be removed and installed on the correct deck before the outer wings can be properly installed.
4.
Remove each cable tie holding the lift pivot and lift shaft in place, allowing them to rotate freely.
5.
Remove the 5/8” x 8.5” bolt, springs, bushing and hardware from the deck frame in order to remove the wing.
6.
Using a lifting device with a minimum 100lb capacity, lift each wing off of the outer decks.
7.
Before installing the LH wing onto the LH deck, remove the inner deck shield in order to access the lift shaft mounting point.

8.
Place the LH wing onto the LH deck by aligning each tie rod with its corresponding mount point.
Hex Bolt
9.
Remove the 5/8” x 6 hex bolt from the deck frame and install it through the lift shaft tie rod.

10.
Align the corresponding tie rod end of the wing with the mounting brackets and reinstall the hardware as shown.

Cut all plastic ties securing the wing stop rod. Remove the 5/8” hex bolt and lock nut from the upright brackets on the Outer
Wing and fasten the stop rod in place between the mounting brackets.
17.
Repeat steps 12-16 to properly mount the
RH Outer Wing Deck onto the RH Main
Wing Deck.
18.
Connect the outer wing lift circuit to a hydraulic power source (tractor or power pack) and extend the cylinders until they align with the mounting brackets on the lift pivot bar. Place a washer on each side of the mount and each side of the cylinder ends. Install the cotter pin through each end of the pin.

INSTALLING DECK PTO SHAFTS
The three identical PTO shafts are used to drive the mower decks. Each PTO shaft will have one end designated a tractor end. This end should be hooked up to the main gear box.
The PTO shafts from the two wing decks must be timed when mounted to the gear box. See photo below. Mount the one side first with the yoke lying flat. The opposite side must be mounted with the yoke lying as flat as possible. I.e. Timed.

All PTO shafts have a short chain attached on both ends. Find a location to wrap or hook on short chain. Be sure that when decks are brought into transport position, the safety chain will not bind or pull PTO shield. Do not forget to install the PTO spacers to level the driveline. See section on “Hitching to the Tractor”.
Outer Wing Deck Drive Shaft
1.
Connect the PTO shaft end with the longer guard cone to the outer shaft of the main wing deck gearbox. Connect the opposite end to the outer wing deck gearbox.
