Installing Spacers to the Front Frame
For Traction Units with a Cab and Road Light Kit Equipped
Parts needed for this procedure:
2
Spacer
4
Screw (1/4 x 1-1/4 inch)
Procedure
For traction units that have a Cab Kit and a Road Light Kit equipped, the flail mower could contact the road
lights. To avoid contact with the road lights, install the spacers to restrict movement of the lift arms.
1.
Under the front chassis, remove the existing screws (1/4 inch) and rubber pads from the chassis

Discard the screws and retain the pads.
2.
Use the new screws (1/4 x 1-1/4 inch) to secure the spacers and rubber pads to the chassis
Tighten the screws until the heads are flush with the rubber pads.
Important:
Reducing the engine speed prior to
engaging the PTO with the flail helps prevent
premature driveline wear.
