Alamo 00756179P User Manual

Mounting procedures for mowers will require a significant amount of bolt nut and washer installation.

Frame and structure mounting bolts should be installed using Red Loctite, and torqued to the dry values 

listed in the torque chart based on the bolt size and hardness.

Other structures such as pump mounting bolts should be installed with Blue Loctite and torqued to the dry 

values indicated in the chart.

Bolt tightness should be completed with and checked with a suitable torque wrench.

Torque checks should be completed throughout the life of the mower in accordance with the maintenance 

chart provided in this manual.

Loose bolts on a frame or in a casting may be a result of:

 

● Vibration from the mower due to imbalance of the mower blades

 

● Pulled threads due to over tightening 

 

● Distortion of the hole due to under tightening during installation

Bolts broken or sheared in the mounting structure or tractor may be the result of:

 

● Improper  alignment  of  the  Mounting  Plate  or  Structure  such  that  it  is  not  sitting  flat  on  the  mating 

surface

 

● Distortion of the bolt due to over-tightening

 

● Under tightening of the bolts

Check the bolt torque during installation and prior to delivery with a suitable torque wrench.
