11. Remove the bent pin (item 32) and cotter from the
break link (item 28). Swing driveline holder up into
storage position. Install bent pin through holder
and break link. Retain with hairpin cotter.
12. Adjust tractor top link until mower break link cross
piece is 3/4" above the rear offset links. See Figure

before the rear tires when the unit is raised. This
will allow the mower to follow the ground contour
when mowing.

INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DRIVE-
LINE (TRACTOR PTO)

PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.
To avoid damage to cutter or driveline, make
sure driveline holder is properly stored before
operation.

Front Caster Wheel Interference Check
NOTICE: Do not operate tractor and mower until this
interference check has been performed. If you change
tractors, you must perform the check for that mounting.
Perform this check with all of the spacers and springs
above the caster wheel arm. This will place the caster
wheels in their highest position and provide the lowest
cutting height for the mower.
