WARNING

 

POTENTIAL HAZARD 

  Operating a FrontRunner tractor without an 

approved Exmark front mount attachment 
increases the possibility of forward tip over. 

WHAT CAN HAPPEN 

  Tip-over could cause serious injury or death. 

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD 

  When operating a FrontRunner tractor without 

an approved Exmark front mount attachment, 
observe the following: 

9

 

Limit operation to minimum required to 
install a different front mount attachment. 

9

 

Minimize speed and use extreme caution. 

9

 

Only operate on a flat level surface. 

9

 

Do not operate up or down a trailer ramp. 

9

 

Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. 

Uncrate Deck 

1.  Remove top and sides of crate from base. 

2.  Remove straps securing front frame and deck to 

crate.  

 

 

 

 

 

Lowering the Discharge Chute 

1.  The discharge chute is shipped in the “up” 

position.  

2.  Slightly loosen the two bolts enough to rotate 

the discharge chute to the down position.     
(See Figure 1) 

3.  Snug tighten the two bolts just enough to cause 

some drag when rotating the chute. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIGURE 1

gearbox and then slide shaft into the PTO yoke 
until it contacts washer. (See Figure 2)
