SET-UP 
AND ASSEMBLY 
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS 
Assembly of this mower is the responsibility of the 
dealer. The mower should be delivered to the 
owner completely assembled, lubricated and 
adjusted for normal mowing conditions. 
Using these instructions, set mower up as re- 
ceived from the factory. Complete Check Lists on 
Page 10 when set-up is complete. 
You may install the MM60 mower with the FL6555 
sub frame installed. The front loader must be 
removed from the sub frame. If you also have 
BH6575 Back Hoe, both the back hoe and its sub 
frame must be removed. The adjustment of the lift  
rod is different from the standard installation. 
These differences are explained in the appropriate 
sections. Follow these procedures to avoid 
damage to deck and linkage. 
The mower is shipped partially assembled. 
Assembly will be easier 
if c
omponents are aligned 
and loosely assembled before tightening hard- 
ware. Recommended torque values for hardware, 
are included in the assembly instructions. 
Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes 
and lay out parts and hardware to make location 
easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, 
parts lists and exploded view drawings. 
For all pins, shafts and other bearing surfaces, 
lubricate bearing area with a lithium based grease 
of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum 
disulfide) additive before installing. The manual 
will also indicate when grease is necessary.
Always wear relatively tight and 
belted clothing to avoid entanglement 
in 
moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled 
work shoes and protective equipment for 
eyes, hands, hearing and head. 
Before working underneath, raise mower, 
install transport lock and block mower 
securely. Hydraulic system leak down and 
failure of mechanical or hydraulic system 
can cause equipment to drop. 
Keep all persons away from operator 
control area while performing adjust- 
ments, service or maintenance.
