PTO Hookup

If the Grooming Mower is to be used on more than one tractor, an additional driveline may be required.

!WARNING

Do not operate a damaged driveline. Damaged drivelines can cause serious injury or death.

!CAUTION

Tractor PTO shield and all Grooming Mower guards must be in place at all times during operation!

IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s PTO is set for 540 rpm.

IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-3 below.

IMPORTANT: Always check driveline maximum and minimum length during initial setup, when connecting to a different tractor and when alternating between using a quick hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may be required to fit all applications.

Checking Driveline Minimum Length

IMPORTANT: Aligning tractor’s PTO shaft level with the Grooming Mower’s PTO shaft is necessary when checking to see if the driveline will fit correctly between tractor and Grooming Mower.

Refer to Figure 1-4 on page 10

1.Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lift the lower arms until the Grooming Mower’s driveline shaft is approximately level with tractor's PTO shaft.

2.Slide inner driveline universal joint over the splined input shaft of the gearbox. Secure with driveline yoke locking device.
