SECTION 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION -- CHAPTER 1
00-16
IMPORTANT: The PTO set must be checked out
prior to operation as follows:
• Check to be sure the shafts do not bottom out by
lifting and lowering the hitch and observing the
free movement of he tubes when fully collapsed.
• Operate the breakaway, 1, to be sure the shafts
do not separate. This can be done by first loosen-
ing and then releasing the breakaway latch and
then physically forcing the cutter bar rearward
with a prybar or by other means. Retighten the
spring to the correct length (See the “Breakaway
Latch” section in Maintenance in this manual).

Connect the Mower Hydraulic System
Connect the hydraulic hose to the tractor, preferably
to a valve section that has a float position. Select the
appropriate port, 1, to allow engaging the float
position when the hitch is lowered.
NOTE: Check the tractor operator’s manual for
instructions on which outlet to use for single acting
cylinders.
