2.Hook up the electrical connection (Figure 20).

3.Start the engine.

4.Set the cutting height to maximum.

5.Fully lower the attachment lift.

6.Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

9.Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

10.Mount the hitch (A, Figure 21) to the deck using the long hitch pin (B).

11.Attach the hitch to the tractor using the two short pins (C, Figure 21) and safety clips.

12.Start the engine.

13.Fully raise the attachment lift.

14.Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

15.Pivot the two front gauge wheels from sliding position to mowing position by pushing down on the top of the spindle and pivoting the wheel (see Figure 17). Move the left rear slide wheel (Figure 18) into mowing posi- tion, if equipped.

16.Pull the drive shaft locking collar (A, Figure 22) back and slide the drive shaft all the way onto the tractor PTO shaft (B, Figure 19).
