ASSEMBLY
Assembly Section 2-11
FILLING HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR
Refer to the maintenance section for filling specifications and hydraulic oil requirements.
NOTE: Starting or running your Tiger mower before filling reservoir will cause
serious damage to hydraulic pump.
(ASM-C-0004hydro resrv)
INSTALLING O-RING FITTINGS
Installing straight, 45º and 90º O-rings requires that the O-ring and washer be up
against the swivel body. Insert the swivel and turn in until the swivel is pointed in the
desired direction and O-ring contact is made. Hold swivel in set direction with a wrench
and turn the O-ring nut away from the swivel body and carefully tighten.
(ASM-C-0056)
INSTALLING NATIONAL PIPE FITTINGS
Whenever installing a pipe fitting, wrap the threads clockwise (looking at the end) with
teflon tape. In this way, the tape will be tightened when installed. NOTE: It is not
necessary to tape O-ring fittings, or those installed in swivels.

GENERAL HOSE INSTALLATION
Refer to the parts section for detailed information about hoses and fittings for this
application.
(ASM-C-0011)
HOSE COVERING
Secure hoses together with zip ties wherever loose. Wrap the hoses between the
swivel and main boom with the hose cover provided. Wrap the hoses between the main
boom and secondary boom with the hose cover provided. Where hoses may contact the
frame or other edges, wrap with split hose and secure with hose clamps or zip ties.
On non cab units, the pressure and return hoses from the control valve will also need
to be routed inside the protective clear hose wrap. Cover the valve, valve fittings with the
yellow hose cover and secure with black string provided.
(ASM-C-0058)
SOLENOID BRAKE VALVE
Install a solenoid valve on the mounting bracket with the supplied hardware as shown in the
Parts Section in this manual. While installing the fittings to the brake valve, the electical coil on
the spool may have to be removed to make room. When reinstalling the coil, it is important to
use no more than 5 ft. lbs. (or 60in. lbs.) torque. WARNING: OVER TORQUE TO THE COIL
WILL RESULT IN HYDRAULIC FAILURE OF SPOOL.
(ASM-C-0025)
TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOUNTING (OPTIONAL)
Mount the temperature gauge where it is clearly visible to the operator. Attach the green (-)
wire from the negative post on the gauge to a grounded bolt on the tractor frame. Remove paint
if needed to make a good ground. Remove the pipe plug from the side of the hydraulic reservoir
and install the temperature sensor using thread sealing tape. Run the white wire from the (s)
sensor post of the gauge to the temperature sensor on the hydraulic reservoir tank.
