O P E R ATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

FRONT GAUGE WHEEL

INTERFERENCE CHECK

Do not operate the mower until this interference check has been performed. If you use the mower with a differ- ent tractor, you must perform the check for that particular mounting again.

1.Raise the mower with the tractor hydraulic system to the maximum height of lift.

2.Pivot both of the mower front gauge wheels forward and check that there is clearance between the gauge wheels and the tractor’s rear tires.

3.If there is interference, lower the mower to the ground and move hitch to the extended position (see assem- bly chapter).

4.Move the tractor tires inward to obtain clearance or lower the mower until clearance exists.

5.Set the 3-point quadrant stop so the mower cannot be raised beyond the set point. See figure 5.

ADJUSTING DRIVELINE LENGTH

1.Slide the driveline together until it “bottoms out.”

2.Apply colored tape to the inner plastic shield tube 1/8” from the end of the outer shield tube.

3.Reconnect the driveline to the tractor PTO shaft.

4.Raise the mower to full transport position or until the driveline just hits the deck at front.

5.If the distance between colored tape and outer shield tube is 19/16” or less, the metal drive tubes should be shortened per figure A.

6.Shorten the male and female plastic shield tubes equally. See figure B.

7.The metal drive tubes also have to be shortened in the same length as the plastic shield tubes. See figure C.

8.Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. See figure D.

9.Apply grease to the metal drive tubes.

10.There should always be a minimum of 19/16” clear- ance between the male and female drive and shield tubes when the driveline is operated in its shortest working position.

11.Lower the mower to the lowest position possible and check the distance of the colored tape to the end of the outer shield tube.

12.Driveline tube engagement or overlapping must always exceed 12”.

13.If tubes do not overlap by 12” or more, consult with your dealer to obtain a longer driveline.

W ARNING!

A loose shaft could slip off and result in personal injury or damage to the mower. When attaching the driveline yoke to the tractor PTO shaft, it is important that the spring activated twist collar turns freely and that the locking pin is seated on the PTO shaft groove.

W ARNING!

Before operating the mower check to make sure the driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. See figure 6.
