2. Make sure the tractor PTO is the correct speed and shaft size for the implement. Ensure the drawbar is

extended the proper distance from the Tractor PTO shaft for desired PTO speed; 540 PTO is 14” and for

1000 PTO speed the distance is 16”

3. Carefully back tractor to mower. Do not allow coworkers or bystanders between the tractor and the imple-

ment while backing. When dismounting the tractor ALWAYS shut down the tractor, disengage the PTO,

and set the parking brake before dismounting.

4. Install the retaining bolt through tongue clevis and tractor drawbar. The implement tongue is very heavy.

Make any height adjustments using the implement jack. Place two 1” flatwashers (1) positioned under top

lip of tongue clevis and to the top of drawbar. Insert a 1” diameter grade 5 or 8 bolt (2) through clevis and

drawbar and retain in position with a 1” locknut (3). Tighten the locknut securely but do not overtighten,

which could spring or break the clevis. NOTE: NEVER attach mower to the tractor with a pin not having a

nut.

trol levers to fill wing cylinders with oil. Filling the cylinders should retract the wings slightly to their mini-

mum closed width. Continue to apply pressure to cylinders for at least 10 seconds to assure they have

filled with fluid.

Keep coworkers and bystanders away from the implement while filling.

8. Remove retaining bracket from end yoke of
