6 ASSEMBLY
6.4 ASSEMBLY—5-UNIT GANG MOWER
1. Assemble three cutting units with unit
frames and short drawbars, and two
cutting units with unit frames only. Refer
to page 10.
2. (Fig. 10). Place the two units without
drawbars side by side. Remove the hinge
plates (A) from the twin coupling frame
(B). Bolt an extension wing (C) and a
hinge plate to each unit. The extension
wings are fitted to the outer sides of the
unit frames and the hinge plates on the
inner sides. Long bolts (D) are used
on the two rear positions to secure the
extension wing and hinge plate to the unit
frame. Two short bolts (E) are used to
secure the front of the extension wing and
hinge plate.
3. (Fig. 11). Locate the twin coupling frame
on to the hinge plates between the two
front units and secure with clips.
4 (Fig. 10). With the lubricating nipples on
top insert the long drawbar (J) into the
front of the twin coupling frame. The slot
fits over a distance piece which is already
in position. Insert the pin (K) and secure
with the spring clips.

5. (Fig. 10). From the three short drawbars
remove the universal couplings (F). Bolt
two couplings into the towing points on
the extension wings and the other into the
towing point at the rear of the twin coupling
frame. Couple the three rear units to the
towing points on the extension wings
and centre of the twin coupling frame,
ensuring that the chains (L) hang below
the drawbars.
Ensure that the bolts are not overtightened
as this will cause distortion.
The coupling must be free to swivel.
Lubricating nipples must point upwards.
