152. Mount a washer and ball stud to each end of the frontroller on the cutting units (Fig. 10).1 23Figure 101. Pull frame2. Pull arm3. Ball stud3. Slide the cutting unit under the pull frame whilehooking the lift hook onto the lift arm (Fig. 11).12Figure 111. Lift arm 2. Lift hook4. Slide the sleeve back on the ball joint and rotate the pullarm down so the socket fits over the ball stud. Releasethe sleeve so it slides over the stud and locks theassemblies together (Fig. 10).5. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the jamnuts on the pull arms, and adjust the ball sockets untilthere is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) clearance betweenthe lip of the basket and the reel blades or the frontshield.Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the cuttingunit forward, causing the lift roller to come off of thelift arm while in the mowing operation.Be sure the basket lip is equidistant from the reel bladesall across each reel. If the basket is too close to the reel,it is possible for the reel to contact the basket when thecutting unit is raised off of the ground.6. Align the sockets in the ball joints so the open side ofthe socket is centered towards the ball stud. Tighten thejam nuts to secure the sockets in position (Fig. 12).123Figure 121. Ball joint2. Pull arm3. Jam nut7. Assemble the mounting capscrews for the reel drivemotor to each cutting unit. Leave approximately 1/2 in.(13 mm) of threads exposed on each mountingcapscrew (Fig. 13).12Figure 131. Capscrews 2. Drive motor8. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units andthe reel drive motor shafts.Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units.Install them whenever the reel drive motors are removed toprotect the cutting unit bearings from contamination.9. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the endof the cutting unit with #2 general purpose grease.
