OPERATION
6.3 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Setting Deck Pitch-Lift Type
1.Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is resting securely on its tail wheel.
2.Lower the
3.Place the tractor’s
this point to maintain the deck pitch.
Setting Deck Pitch-Pull Type
1.Adjust the leveling rod linking the tongue to the
rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower in the front than the rear. To lower the front,
lengthen the leveling rod and to raise the front, shorten the leveling rod.
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.
7. 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.
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. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.
