To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower

should be operated with the deck approximately

3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.

The correct deck pitch is obtained as follows:

1. Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is

resting securely on its tail wheel.

2. Then slowly lower the 3-point lift arms further

until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower

than the rear of the mower.

3. Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at

this position so that each time the mower is raised

and lowered the deck pitch will be maintained.

Operating the mower with the front of the deck

slightly lower than the rear allows the mower to cut the grass only once and requires less work from the tractor.

In addition, a more even distribution of the clippings from the rear of the mower will be achieved with this

angle. OPS-R-0002_B

9. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be

dirt free and greased for attachment.

To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO

output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back and

align the grooves and splines of the yoke with those

of the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke onto the

PTO shaft, release the locking collar, and position

the yoke until the locking collar balls are seated

onto the PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline

back and forth several times to ensure a secure

attachment. OPS-R-0003_A
