OPERATION

IID Shaft Installation

Adjusting Shaft Length (Con't)

4.Cut the shield and shaft of the mower half so the same amount is removed as the tractor half. Deburr the ends, lubricate the shaft halves with grease and reassemble the halves.

5.Install the IID shaft on the tractor and mower. Raise and lower the mower to check for shaft contact (bottoming-out) with the mower yoke end. At the maximum compressed point, the shaft should look like Figure 9. Make sure that at least 4" of the inner shaft remains engaged in the outer shaft at all times.

Figure 9

Figure 10

6.Check the angle of the joints at each end of the IID shaft when the mower is in operating position.

The maximum operating angle is 30 degrees. (See Figure 10.)

IMPORTANT: Failure to make these adjustments prior to operating the cutter could result in premature IID shaft failure.

WARNING! NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER WITH THE SHIELDS OR GUARDS REMOVED. DO NOT APPROACH ROTATING SHAFTS WHEN IN OPERATION!
