Wing Mower InstallationWing Cut Off Switch:

1. Assemble Brackets & Magnetic Switches.Shown below will reference to a dual wing model.a single wing will connect the same with half asmany parts. Locate the Magnetic switch mount-ing bracket, dual wings there will be two of these(See Figure 1). If Dual wings the two brackets willhave the switches mounted on the opposite side(See Figure 2). Once these have the switchesbolted on lay the brackets aside for now. (SeeFigure 20)2. Assemble Magnetic Switch Activators. Thismagnetic switch activator has a magnet insideand a cover that must be installed (See Figure 4).There are brackets that these bolt to. With dualwings there is a LH and RH bracket. Bolt theMagnetic activators to the brackets (See Figure 5)LH Bracket Shown). Note there are two sets ofmounting holes. In figure 5 the set that have thebolts through them is used to shut wing off at 45degree up. If the other set of holes are used wingmower will shut off at 90 degrees up. The 45degree setting is recommended for standard ap-plications.3. Install Switch Brackets & Head MountingBrackets. Use a hoist to lift the Wing Mower andposition it for mounting. DO NOT get under Mowerwhile lifted on a hoist (See Figure 6). Mower is onlybe positions so that switch brackets and hingebrackets can be installed to head, this must bedone before mower can be mounted to lift frame.

6. Install Wing Mower to Lift Frame. Using theover head hoist position the Mower Deck (SeeFigure 10) to where the front hinge bracket will alignwith the lift frame. Install at least two of the mountingbolts and snug them down.

7. Install the wire harness to wings. The Wireharness will have a lead to each wing. These can bedetermined by the length, the longer lead will go tothe left wing. There is apiece of square tube weldedto the lift frame on the back for the wire harness to berun through (See Figure 11). The wire harness willbe run down and under the round bar of lift frame.Leave harness here for now.

8. Install Magnetic Switch Pickup & Bracket aswell as the rear hinge bracket. The Rear hingeBracket will install similar to the way the front does,but not the same because the Magnetic switchesand brackets bolt on with it. Before installing the rearHinge bracket locate the magnetic Switch Bracket(See Figure 12). There are two spacers about 3/4"long that must be installed between the magneticswitch bracket and the hinge Bracket (See Figure12), Also the wire harness must be run betweenthese two spacers and between these two brackets(See Figure 13 & 14). Install the remaining two boltsand tighten all the hinge bracket bolts, this willinclude the front hinge bracket bolts. (See Figure 21)

9. Plug Magnetic Switch into Wire Harness.The wire harness will have two wires coming out ofthe loom near where they go over the magneticswitches with butt connectors on them ( a black wireand a black wire with white stripe). These wires areto be connected to the magnetic switch black wireand the black wire with white strip of the magneticswitch (See Figure 14) . Plug these together nowand continued to run wire harness up behind thehinge and on up to the mower decks motor. (SeeFigure 21)

Wing Mower InstallationConnecting Mower Motor Hoses:

1. Connect Motor Pressure & Return Hosesto Mower Deck. Connecting the Motor Hoses isvery critical that they a re connected to the correctfittings, If these hose are connected backwards itwill damage the cooling tubes on the deck, thecooling tubes cannot take the pressure it will makethem swell up and bulge.

IMPORTANT FACT. When connecting thehoses to the fittings on the mainframecrossmember remember the top hose is alwaysthew pressure hose and will only connect to themotor, never the cooling tubes on the deck. Thebottom hoses are the return hoses and will alwaysconnect to the cooling tubes on the mower deck.(See Figure 18 & 19). The RH wing will connectthe same as the LH mower (Shown). IMPOR-TANT. On the RH Wing the top hose is pressureand connect to the Motor and the bottom hoseconnects to the Tank return.

2. Double Check all Hose Connections. Be-fore operating the mower make certain all hydrau-lic hoses are connected correctly. IT IS MOSTcritical that you make certain NO HIGH PRES-SURE hoses are connected to the wet tubes ofthe mower deck, The wet tubes will expand (swellup) and be damage if the High Pressure hose isconnected to the deck wet (cooling) tubes. SeeFigure 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27. Looking at allthese figure before going on to next step is impor-tant.

3. Install Pump Cover. The front pump coverwill bolt to the tank, this cover will cover pumps andall hoses and/or fittings connected to the pump(See Figure 20). Set the cover down over thepumps. Align the hove in cover with the tabswelded to the tank (See Figure 20).

4. Install Rear Mower. Go on to the Install rearmower section which will also include the InitialStart up procedures. DO NOT START Tractoruntil you have completed the initial start up sec-tion.

Electrical connectionsshould never be attempted with the batteryconnected. Use Ohm Meters to test electricalconnections.

2. Motor Control Switch. The wiring harness sche-matic list the plug, wire type, wire color, and where thewires connect. The wire harness will be shippedcomplete. The wire harness will need to be con-nected correctly or it will not function properly. DONOT operate any unit that is not functioning correctly(See Figure 22 & 23).

3. Connect Starter Solenoid Wires. The startersolenoid wire are the two brown wires. The tractorsolenoid activation wire (See Tractor Model WireSchematic) will need to be cut and rerouted throughthese two brown wires. Connect the two wires at thestarter solenoid (See Figure 22 & 23)

4. Connect Wiring to Cutter Valve Solenoid. Theplug for the cutter valve solenoid will plug onto thesolenoid without any modifications to plug or solenoid(See Figure 24)

5. Connect Cutter switch electrical supply. The redwire to power switch supply will be connected to apower supply that is only active when the ignition keyis in the on position. Also make certain that it isconnected to source that will not interfere with theswitch or that the switch will interfere with othercomponents of the tractor.

6. Connect the Ground Wire. The ground wire willneed to be connected to the tractor where it will havea good uninterrupted connection.

7. Install Motor Control Switch. The motor controlswitch will be mounted in the cab in a convenientplace for the operator. The location of this switch is upto the installer to decide.

5. Leveling the Rear Mower & Adjust guttingCutting Height. The Rear Mower is leveled with thetop Three Point Link. The Cutting Height is adjustedby moving the Roller up or down by change thebearing bracket mounting hole. The is a decal on thedeck next the Operators/ parts manual cannister(See Figure 5 & 6)

6. Rear Mower Completly Connected. With therear mower completly connected. Check all Oillevels and grease mower components (See Figure9) before running mower. Also DO NOT start trac-tor if the rest of the assembly to the interstater isnot done. Make certain that all hoses,compontents, wiringing is completed and Oil Tankfor interstater has been filled with oil.

7. Slip clutch is incorporated in the PTO driv-eline. It is designed to slip, absorb the shock load,and protect the driveline. It is important that theclutch lining plates slip when an obstacle or loadheavier than clutch setting is encountered. There-fore, if the machine sits outside longer than 30 daysand is exposed to rain and/or humid air it is impor-tant to make sure that the clutch lining plates arenot rusted/corroded together. Before using themower use the following procedure to make surethe clutch will slip and give the overload protectionrequired. (See Figure 8) This is a required stepbecause the driveline has been sitting and may bestuck.A. Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can

freely rotate, yet remain secure on bolts.B. Attach mower to tractor and start the tractor.

Set the engine speed at 1200 RPM.C. Mark outer plates with marker, paint or any

form that will work for you to tell if the components of the clutch slipped.

D. Engage the PTO (approximately one sec-ond) and then quickly disengage it. Thefriction lining plates should break loose(check the mark).

E. Turn tractor off and tighten the nuts on thesprings to their original position of 1-5/16"compressed spring length.

8. Slip clutch is incorporatedin the PTO driveline. It is de-signed to slip, absorb the shockload, and protect the driveline. Af-ter the first hour of operation, theslip clutch should be checked foroverheating. After this firstcheck, the slip clutch should bechecked weekly or anytime thereis overheating. To adjust the slipclutch, tighten the spring bolts 1/8(maximum) turn at a time. Boltsshould NEVER be adjusted to thepoint where the springs are com-pressed solid. Minimum springlength is 1-1/8". The slip clutchshould be checked periodicallyand adjusted to compensate forwear. The lining plates are 1/8"thick when new. Replace after 1/32" wear. If the mower has beenidle for an extended period of time,or in wet weather, before operat-ing check to be sure the frictionlining plates are not frozen orrusted together. Should thisfreezing occur refer to the proce-dure described in the "SeasonalClutch Maintenance" section onthe next page. There are four fric-tion lining plates in the slip clutch.These should be checked weeklyfor oil or grease, wear, and mois-ture which could cause corrosionon the drive plates. (See Figure 7)NOTE: Above information islisted as a reference onlyand will not apply to mowerassembly.

Initial Start-Up ProcedureINITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE:1. Check all nuts and hex head capscrews to ensure all are tight and all lock washers are fully

compressed (flattened).2. Check all hoses and hydraulic connections. Make certain they are secure.3. Inspect all moving parts and besure that no wires or hoses will be caught or pinched when the

tractor or the INTERSTATER is in operation. Tie down loose wires and hoses.4. Thoroughly grease the INTERSTATER and install a lubricap on each grease fitting. Refer to

the Operation and Maintenance Section.5. Jack front of tractor up enough to allow axle to pivot through its full range. While turning

wheels through their limits, right and left, swing them up and down. Look for interferencebetween tires and any part of the INTERSTATER. If interference occurs, shims (not fur-nished) must be welded to axle pivot stop or steering arm to limit the movement enoughto avoid interference. Tractors with an adjustable front axle may require an outwardadjustment of the wheels.

6. To fill the INTERSTATER reservoir with new, clean hydraulic oil, follow the steps below.Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Section for specifications. (See Figure 10)A. With a hydraulic jack raise the right side of the tractor. This will tilt the tank and allow

only a minimum amount of air when filling.B. Avoid hydraulic contamination by filtering the hydraulic oil while filling the hydraulic

tank.C. Filter buggies or carts are commercially available for hydraulic system clean-up.

These consist of a high-efficiency, high-capacity filter, a circulating pump, a drivemotor, and hoses for connecting the overhauled machine’s hydraulic system.

D. After the first 10 hours of operation, replace the hydraulic filter with a new one. Anextra Filter Element is provided for you. Refer to the Operation and MaintenanceSection for instruction.

7. After the Interstater mower is com-pletely assembled to the tractor andwith the wings on the ground, fill themower hydraulic tank above the oillevel sight gauge approximately 5"or 1" below the top of the tank.

8. With mower ON/OFF switches in“ON” position and tractor fuel cutoff, crank engine for about 30 to 45seconds to allow oil to fill pumpsand motors. Check the oil level inthe sight gauge. If no oil is seen addoil to bring the level up to the sightgauge. NOTE: Do not fill the tankwith oil above the level of the sightgauge. Over filling the tank with oilafter the initial filling may result in oilbeing discharged Figure 10

through the air filter on top of the hydraulic tank. Start the tractor and run it for 2 minutes andthen turn it off. Again check the oil level in the sight gauge. If the oil level is in the sight gauge,the unit is ready to run. If no oil is seen, add oil to bring the level up to the sight gauge.

CAUTION ROTATING KNIVES! Remove all foreign objects and stand clear ofcutter units. DO NOT GET NEAR!

NOTE: On tractor hydraulic powered circuit only, make certain that there is full flow from tractorhydraulic system to control valve. Refer to tractor manual.

9. After hydraulic system is fully charged and functioning properly, switch cutter units on, thenspeed engine up to 540 RPM PTO speed. Maintain this speed for about 5 minutes. Checkcomplete INTERSTATER, look for any leaks,loose connections, or anything that could causepremature wear or failure.FINAL CHECKRun INTERSTATER for about 1/2 hour at full speed. Check for leaks and vibrations. Frequentlycheck oil temperature. Make certain it does not exceed 180 deg.NOTE: When raising wings, make certain there is no interference with mower, frame, cylinders ortractor. Lift wings slowly.CAUTION: DO NOT leave unit unattended, and COMPLY WITH ALL WARNING DECALS.

If unit starts to make unusual noise, stop unit and check oil level. Also check for frothy oil whichwould indicate a leak on suction side of system.
