7. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be dirt
free and greased for attachment.
To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back and
align the grooves and splines of the yoke with those
of the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke onto the
PTO shaft, release the locking collar, and position the
yoke until the locking collar balls are seated onto the
PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth
several times to ensure a secure attachment.
WARNING!
When attaching the PTO yoke to the Tractor PTO shaft, it is important that the spring
activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove
of the PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could slip off
and result in personal injury and damage to the cutter.
1. Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is
resting securely on its tail wheel.
2. Then slowly lower the 3-point lift arms further until
the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower than
the rear of the mower.
3. Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at
this position so that the each time the mower is
raised and lowered the deck pitch will be
maintained.
6.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate a safe and efficient mowing operation,
the mower should be operated with the deck
approximately 3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN
THE REAR. The correct deck pitch is obtained as
follows.
Operating the mower with the front of the deck slightly lower than the rear allows the mower to cut the grass only
once and requires less work from the tractor. In addition, a more even distribution of the clippings from the rear
of the mower will be achieved with this angle.
