Installing Cutting Units

For Cutting Unit Models 04480, 04481, 04482, and
04483.
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. Mount a washer and ball stud to each end of the
front roller on the cutting units (Fig. 5).
3. Slide the cutting unit under the pull frame while
hooking the lift roller onto the lift arm (Fig. 5).

5. Ball stud
4. 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 that it slides over the
stud and locks the assemblies together (Fig. 6).
5. 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 or front
shield.
Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the
cutting unit forward causing the lift roller 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's possible for the reel to
contact the basket when the cutting unit is raised
off the ground.
