8. Attach the PTO assembly to the tractor.
9. Connect the hydraulic hose to the tractor,
preferably to a valve section with a float position.
Select the appropriate port to allow engaging the
float position when lowering.
NOTICE: Check the tractor operator’s manual for
instructions on which outlet to use for single acting
cylinders.
10. Raise the mower with the tractor three-point hitch.
Remove pin, 2, and remove the jack stand, 1.
Attach the jack stand to the mower frame by
sliding the jack stand slots over lugs, 3, on the
frame.
NOTICE: The pin which is attached to the jack stand
with a cable will be instal le d in the flota ti on system lat er.
11. Level the tractor lower lift links from side to side.
Adjust and lock the sway bars or whatever system
the tractor has to remove as much side
movement as possible.
NOTICE: The tractor lower links should be posi-
tioned straight behind the tractor, or have minimal off-
set. Excessive offset in either direction may cause
damage to the mower PTO drive shaft due to exces-
sive operating angles or contact with hitch pins, and
will also put “lead” or “lag” into the cutter bar resulting
in reduced cutting width and breakaway perfor-
mance.
Adjust the limit chain length so the hitch pins, 1,
are as close to (but not less than) 609 mm (24 in)
as possible from the ground when the mower is
supported by the limit chains.
NOTICE: If the high stubble kit is installed on the
mower, adjust frame height to 660 mm (26 in) from
ground in order to provide adequate flotation.
