OPERATION
Setting Deck Pitch - Lift-Type
1. Lower the mower until the rear of the mower is resting securely on its tail wheels.
2. Lower the 3-point lift arms further until the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower than the rear.
3. Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at this point to maintain the deck pitch.
Setting Deck Pitch - Pull-Type
1. Adjust the leveling rods 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 rods and to raise the front, shorten the
leveling rods.

7.3 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.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow 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 deck pitch.
Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the
rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4”
lower in the front that than the rear. To lower the
front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the
front shorten the leveling rods. IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the
j
amnuts after the deck pitch has been set. OPS-R-0002
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. OPS-R-0003_A
