Install the Cutting Units

For Cutting Unit Models 04404, 04406, 04408
04450 and 04468.
Note: When sharpening, setting height of cut, or
performing other maintenance procedures on the
cutting units, store the cutting unit reel motors in
support tubes on the front of the frame to prevent
damage to the hoses.
1. Remove the cutting units from their cartons.
Assemble and adjust according to the operator's
manual for the cutting units. Use the height
gauge bar from the loose parts kit to adjust height
of cut.
2. Slide the cutting units under the pull frames and
position the hoop on the top of cutting units over
the lift arms (Fig. 1).

3. Assemble the mount nuts for the reel drive motor
to each cutting unit. Leave approximately 1.2cm
of threads exposed on each mount stud (Fig. 2).

4. Remove the protective covers from the cutting
units and the reel drive motor shafts. Coat the
spline shaft of the motor with clean grease and
install the motor by turning the motor clockwise
so the motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate the
motor counterclockwise until the flanges encircle
the studs, then tighten the mounting nuts (Fig. 2).
Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting
units. Install them whenever the reel drive
motors are removed to protect the cutting unit
bearings from contamination.
5. Slide the sleeve back on the ball joint and rotate
the pull arm down so the socket fits over the ball
stud. Release the sleeve so it slides over the stud
and locks the assemblies together (Fig. 4).
6. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the
jam nuts on the pull arms and adjust the ball
sockets until there is 6–11mm clearance between
the lip of the basket and the reel blades (Fig. 3).
Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the
cutting unit forward, causing the hoop to come
off the lift arm while mowing.
Be sure the basket lips are equidistant from the
reel blades all across each reel. If the basket is
too close to the reel, it is possible for the reel to
contact the basket when the cutting unit is raised
off the ground.
