Check the interference between mower's front wheel arms and tractor wheels. If there is inter-
ference, adjust the position of the mower front wheel arms according to instruction described in
section Wheel arms adjustment;
Proceed with the driveline connection (see Section Driveline installation).
4.2. DRIVELINE INSTALLATION
Before installing the driveshaft, the operator must read the manuals of the tractor and driveshaft,
checking in particular that rpm and direction of rotation of the PTO tractor match those of the
mower.
If the direction of rotation of the PTO tractor does not match that of the mower, contact the
Manufacturer or your Dealer.
To connect the driveshaft to the tractor and implement, the operator must:
Park tractor and mower on a flat surface, with parking brake set, engine off, and ignition key
removed;
Ceck that driveshaft, mower and tractor safety shields are in good condition, otherwise provide
for their replacement;
Remove the PTO shield of the mower through the fixing screws;
Insert the driveline yoke on the mower PTO by first lining up the splines, then ensure its
tightening onto the shaft through its fastener/snap pin;
Replace the PTO shield of the mower through the fixing screws;
Insert the driveline yoke on the tractor PTO, then ensure its tightening onto shaft through its
fastener/snap pin;
Hook to the tractor and mower the two retaining chains of the driveline shielding, to prevent
shielding rotation during functioning of the machine. The chains should not be too tight.
The driveline must not exceed an angle of 15 degrees up or down while operating. Exceeding this
angle with driveline rotating can break the driveline and cause safety hazard to operator and by-
standers.
Always work with the driveline as straight as possible. This will prolong life of driveline and that of
its components, avoiding premature breakdowns.
