ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the complete assembly instructions before starting the assembly.
You should have:
- one mower deck assembly
- two carrier arm assemblies
- two rear tire assemblies
- one ATV tongue assembly
A. ASSEMBLY OF MOWER WHEELS
1. Set the mower deck assembly on wood blocks so that it is suspended off the ground.
Note: The operator controls are on the front of the deck. (Left and right are determined by
looking in the direction of travel or by standing at the rear of the deck assembly looking
forward.)
2. Install the rear tire assemblies on the carrier arm assemblies. Remove the hex nut and lock
washer from the rear tire assembly and install the 5/8”x7-1/2” tire axle bolt through the hole in
the carrier arm assembly. See figure 1. Secure assembly with the lock washer and hex nut
provided on the rear tire assembly. The rear tires should be offset to the outside of the deck
assembly on both sides. See figure 2.
3. Install the two carrier arm assemblies in the pivot arms, which are located on the mower deck
assembly. Place the assembly so that the castered tires are on the front and the fixed tires are
on the back. See figure 2. Secure with 1/2" x 3-1/2" hex head bolts and lock nuts provided on
the pivot arms. Mount the height adjust screw on the deck assembly in the hole provided.
Secure with the 1/2”x1” hex head bolt and lock nut provided on the height adjust screw.
Note: Tighten 1/2” x 3-1/2” and 1/2” x 1” hex head bolts until just snug. This area needs to
pivot when adjusting the height. Under tightening can result in excessive wear and
flexing. Over tightening will make adjusting the cutting height very difficult.
B. INSTALLATION OF TONGUE ASSEMBLY
1. The tongue can be installed either on the left or right caster assembly depending on how the
tow-behind mower will be towed. See figure 2. Secure the hitch pivot on the chosen caster
assembly with the 1/2” x 3-1/2” hex head bolt, lock washer, and nut provided.
2. Install the tongue into the hitch pivot and secure by placing the provided 5/16” wire lock pins on
each side of the hitch pivot.
Note: To help prevent any unwanted pin removal caused by oncoming debris install the 5/16”
wire lock pins with the wire lock section back from the direction of travel. See Figure 3.

OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
This safety alert symbol is used to indicate safety instructions. Follow
these instructions to avoid personal injury and/or property damage.
Read and follow all instructions in this manual and the attached engine
manual.
WARNING: Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment who has not fully read and
comprehended the safety manual and who has not been properly trained in the safe
operation of the equipment.
WARNING: Operator should be familiar with all functions of the unit.
A. TONGUE CONFIGURATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Shut off the engine and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop
before adjusting the tongue.
The hitching system is designed so that the rough cut mower can be pulled directly behind a tow
vehicle or offset to the left or right. See Figure 4.
Note: When pulling the mower directly behind, the hitch pivot should be fastened on the right
carrier arm for maximum maneuverability. See Figure 2. When pulling the mower in
the offset position the hitch pivot can be fastened on either the right or left carrier arm.
See Figure 2.

BRPRC110HE, REV B 8 REV 3/20
The tongue is equipped with a screw pin shackle clevis to provide movement in all directions on
rough uneven ground. To prevent loss of the screw pin due to vibration or debris, place the screw
pin through the tow vehicle hitch and clevis and turn the screw pin until snug.
The tongue is designed to adjust from left to right within the hitch pivot. This allows the mowers
position to be varied behind the tow vehicle. This is accomplished by pulling the 5/16” wire lock
pins out and choosing two other hole locations on the tongue. See Figure 3.

B. ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
WARNING: Shut off the engine and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop
before adjusting the cutting height.

BRPRC110HE, REV B 9 REV 3/20
The cutting height can be adjusted in a range from 2.0" to 8.0". This is accomplished by turning
the height adjust cranks on both sides of the mower. See Figure 5. Turn the cranks clockwise to
raise the mower cutting height and counter-clockwise to lower the mower cutting height.
DANGER: Shut off tow vehicle engine and allow mower blades to stop completely before
attempting to measure the cutting height.
Adjust the mower as follows:
1. Pull the mower on to a smooth, level surface.
2. Adjust the mower evenly from side to side by measuring to the ground from the lower edge of
the mower deck. The desired height will be the distance from the ground to the outside lower
edge of the mower deck plus 1-5/16”. The mower blade cutting edge is 1-5/16” above the
outside lower edge of the mower deck.
Note: If the height adjust cranks do not turn easily, the pivot bolts holding the carrier arm
assemblies and height adjust screw may be too tight. Loosen the pivot bolts slightly to
allow easier pivoting. Care should be taken not to loosen too much or excess wear and
flexing may occur. Greasing the threads may also allow greater ease in adjustment.
Note: After leveling mower deck, quick field adjustment can be completed by counting crank
turns. Roughly 6 turns will equal 1” of vertical movement.
The adjustment crank may unturn due to vibration. This will allow the mower’s cutting height to
change. The crank can be secured by folding it down between the adjustment nut tube and the
upper pivot support. See Figure 6.

C. STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Set parking brake on tow vehicle.
Attach mower tongue to tow vehicle.
WARNING: Do not start rough cut mower unless it is attached to the tow vehicle.
Turn on the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The off
position on the valve is when the red handle lines up with the “O” symbol.
Set the choke to the desired position.
Set the throttle at approximately half throttle.
Start engine and allow engine to warm up.
Set the engine speed at about half throttle and engage the mower blades clutch by pulling
outward on the PTO switch. (The PTO switch is located at the front of the mower deck on the
control panel.)
Note: To help extend the life of the clutch the engine rpm should be placed as low as possible
before clutch engagement. If the engine should stall during clutch engagement raise
the engine rpm until clutch engagement is possible.
CAUTION: If the mower’s engine dies while in use, remove the rough cut mower from the
uncut area before attempting to engage the clutch. Inspect the blades for any obstructions
that may prevent blade engagement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
premature clutch and belt failure or a fire.
Adjust engine speed to full throttle.
D. SHUTTING OFF ROUGH CUT MOWER
WARNING: Shift to neutral and set the parking brake before dismounting the tow vehicle.
Slow the engine speed down and disengage the clutch by pushing inward on the PTO switch.
Allow engine to cool down for a short time before moving the ignition switch to the off position.
Turn off the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The off
position on the valve is when the red handle lines up with the “O” symbol.

BRPRC110HE, REV B 11 REV 3/20
E. MOWER OPERATION
DANGER:Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
CAUTION:Clean or replace any safety signs that are not readable or damaged.
WARNING: Remove all objects from the work area that might be picked up and thrown by
the blades.
WARNING: Do not mow when children and others are around.
WARNING: Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot.
WARNING: Keep all safety shields and deflectors in place during operation.
CAUTION:Remove grass build up from under safety shields before each use. Do not
remove safety shields while engine is running. Dry grass build up around belts and
sheaves can cause fires.
WARNING: Shut off engine before disconnecting the mower from the tow vehicle or
attempting to move the wing mower by hand.
WARNING: Never carry children or passengers.
WARNING: Do not allow children to operate this machine.
CAUTION: Slow down and watch the ends of the mower when making turns so objects
are not struck and/or run over.
WARNING: Look down, to the sides, and behind before and while backing to avoid
backing over something or someone. Care should also be taken while backing so that the
wing mower or mowers do not jackknife and damage hitches.
WARNING: Stop the mower blades on the mower if the tow vehicle becomes stuck or
stops going forward because of loss of traction. Shut off the engine on the mower before
attempting to push or pull the tow vehicle.
Listen to the rough cut mower engine while mowing. The engine should run free and not work too
hard. Working the engine too hard will cause overheating and premature failure.
CAUTION: If the mower’s engine dies while in use, remove the rough cut mower from the
uncut area before attempting to engage the clutch. Inspect the blades for any obstructions
that may prevent blade engagement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
premature belt failure or a fire.

BRPRC110HE, REV B 12 REV 3/20
Do not allow material to build up on the air inlet to the engine cooling system. Special care should
be taken to make sure the engine is getting enough inlet air. Do not allow the engine cooling fins
under the shroud to be blocked. If air flow over the engine is restricted, the engine could
overheat.
F. DRIVE BELT REMOVAL AND TENSION – Refer to Figure 7
WARNING: Shut off engine and allow mower blades to stop turning before making any
adjustments or repairs.
Remove the safety shields.
Loosen the nuts on the spring-loaded idler; adjust bolt until the belt can be slipped off the idler and
drive sheaves.
Slip the belt down under the drive sheave and off the blade spindle sheaves.
Install the new belt and then adjust the tension as follows: See Figure 7.
Figure 7: Belt Pattern and Spring Adjustment
Engine/Clutch
Front
Initial Spring Length (New Belt):
2-1/2” to 2-9/16”
Running Spring Length:
2-3/4” to 3-1/4”
Only Include
Spring in
Measurement

BRPRC110HE, REV B 13 REV 3/20
Adjust the nuts on the spring-loaded idler adjuster bolt until the length of the spring is between 2-
1/2” and 2-9/16”. This is the initial belt break in spring length. When the belt is broken in after
several hours of mowing, the running spring length should be between 2-3/4” and 3-1/4”. For
maximum belt life, periodic checks every 3-4 hours should be done to make sure the spring length
has not exceeded the recommended running length.
Note: Failure to periodically adjust the belt tension will result in severe belt wear and
premature belt failure.
G. MOWER BLADE REMOVAL, BALANCING & INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Sharp blades can cause bodily injury if not handled properly.
When removing the blade, it is recommended that a block of wood be placed between the blade
and the underside of the mower deck. This will allow the removal of the blade without the need to
hold the blade by hand.
CAUTION: Always balance the mower blades each time they are sharpened.
Out of balance mower blades cause excess vibrations which lead to premature bearing failures,
bolts coming loose, and overall deterioration of the wing mowers.
CAUTION: Always properly tighten the blade bolts to the specified torque. Failure to do so
can lead to unwanted loosening of the blade and damage to the blade holding saddle.
The Models BRPRC110HE use Part # (202141) blade bolt. This particular hex head bolt is a 3/4”
– 16NF x 1-1/4” long, grade 5 and it’s proper torque is 300 ft-lbs.
To ease in the blade installation process, use the same block of wood and method used during
the removal of the blades.
H. LUBRICATION
There are three lubrication points on the rough cut mower -- one spring-loaded idler pivot and
two caster wheel pivots. Lubricate at approximately 10 hr. intervals or more often as required in
dusty conditions.
I. FUSE LOCATION
These particular mowers come equipped with a 10 AMP mini blade type fuse. The fuse is located
behind the ignition switch/control panel in a black rubber inline fuse holder.
J. STORAGE
Turn off the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The off
position on the valve is when the red handle lines up with the “O” symbol. If the mower is stored
outside, the engine should be covered to prevent water from getting inside the engine during
heavy rainstorms. See the Engine Manual for additional information.

BRPRC110HE, REV B 14 REV 3/20
K. EPA EVAPORATIVE COMPONENTS
This mower has been designed and built to meet all current EPA regulations. Any modification to
the fuel tank, fuel lines, vapor hose, fuel cap, roll-over / fuel vapor valve, carbon canister
(California Only) and hose clamps are prohibited. Replacement evaporative components should
be purchased from Brave. Any questions about EPA regulations or evaporative components can
be directed to Brave at 800-350-8739
