OPERATION

7.1 Leveling Deck

To Facilitate a safe and efficient mowing operation, the mower should be operated parallel to the ground at all times. Never operate if front or rear of mower is tilted upward. Objects may be discharged at high speeds causing possible injury or even death.

Adjust Top Link to level mower roller adjustment. Side Skid Shoes should always be parallel to ground throughout the full adjustment range. Adjust cutting height of machine by raising or lowering rear roller as specified in Operation Section.

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades. (SRM-07)

8. 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.

After the driveline is securely attached, place the tractor PTO master shield back in the operating position. OPS-R-0003

When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement. (S3PT-17)
