Note: If you are operating the machine in hot climates,

where ambient temperatures range from 70F (20C) to

120F (49C), or using it for heavy-duty use (mowing

other than greens, such as fairways or verticutting), install

of a Hydraulic Oil Cooler Kit, Part No. 100-3166, to the

traction unit.

Installing the Cutting Units

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.

Important Do not raise the suspension to the transport

position when the reel motors are in the holders in the

traction unit frame. Damage to the motors or hoses could

result.

1. Remove the cutting units from the cartons. Assemble

and adjust them per the Operator’s Manual for the

cutting units. Use the Height Gauge bar from the

Loose Parts Kit to adjust the height of cut.
