6 ASSEMBLY
6.5 ASSEMBLY—7-UNIT GANG MOWER
1. Assemble four cutting units with unit
frames and short drawbar and three
cutting units with unit frames only. Refer
to page 10.
2. Place the three units without drawbars
side by side.
3 (Fig. 12). Remove hinge plates (A) from
the coupling frames.
4. Bolt an extension wing (B) and a hinge
plate (A) to the outer units. The extension
wings are fitted to the outer sides of the
unit frames and the hinge plates on the
inner sides. Long bolts (C) are used
on the two rear positions to secure the
extension wing and hinge plate to the unit
frame.
Two short bolts (D) are used to secure
the front of the extension wing and hinge
plate.
5 Bolt hinge plates on both sides of the
centre unit frame with long bolts at the
rear and short bolts at the front and
tighten securely.
6. Locate the twin coupling frames on to the
hinge plates between the three front units
and secure with clips. From the four short
drawbars remove the universal couplings.
Bolt two couplings into the towing points
on the extension wings and the other one
into the towing point at the rear of the twin

coupling frames. Couple the four rear units
to the towing point on the extension wings
and centre of the twin coupling frames,
ensuring that the chains hang below the
drawbars. Ensure that the bolts are not
overtightened, as this will cause distortion.
The coupling must be free to swivel. The
lubricating nipples must point upwards.
7. (Fig. 13). Fit the seven unit drawbar (A)
into the front of the twin coupling frame
using the pins provided and ensuring
that the lubricating nipples are pointing
upwards. From the short drawbars remove
the universal couplings (E) (Fig. 12). Bolt
these couplings into the towing hitches on
the extension wings and the towing points
at the rear of the twin coupling frames.
Ensure that the bolts are not overtightened
as this will cause distortion. The couplings
must be free to swivel. The lubricating
nipples must point upwards.
