ATTACHING TO TRACTOR continued....

STEP 5 Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if PTO shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches short of reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too long mea- sure 3 inches back from each u-joint shield and mark the other shaft section. Be sure to do this for both PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft

sections at this time.

STEP 6

Raise rotary mower and remove blocking. Raise and lower rotary mower in order to locate the longest distance between equipment input shaft and the tractor PTO output shaft. With the rotary mower in the longest distance position, shut down the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK THE ROTARY MOWER IN POSITION.

STEP 7

As in step 5 hold PTO shaft sections together and check for a minimum of 6 inches of overlap. If PTO shaft has been marked for cutting the overlap is the distance measured between the two marks. If the PTO shaft has less than a 6 inch overlap, DO NOT USE. Contact your authorized King Kutter Dealer.

NOTE

If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (page 19)

STEP 8

Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO shaft section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on rotary mower and tractor.

NOTE: If you shear the bolt that attaches the PTO shaft to the gear box replace with a grade 2 bolt only . Replacement with another grade of bolt will void your warranty and may cause terminal damage to the PTO shaft, gearbox, or tractor. (King Kutter shear pin 5 pack part #500101)

WARNING - Failure to install retaining clip on gearbox input shaft would allow driv- eline to swing freely if bolt is sheared causing possible injury or death.

STEP 9

Pull on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place. Make certain PTO shaft shielding is in place and good working condition.

STEP 10

The PTO shaft shield is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior to equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke shield attach to a fixed object on the tractor and equipment ends that will not allow the PTO shaft shield to rotate during operation.
