3.Engage the aerator frame tube sockets on the tractor support arms. Slide the implement hitch onto the support arms approximately 3 in. (76 mm).
Only use PTO
Connect Driveline Coupler to Tractor PTO
4.Connect the aerator driveline to the tractor PTO shaft by sliding back the locking collar on the yoke, then push the yoke over the PTO shaft until the locking collar snaps back fully. Make sure the driveline is well secured at both ends.
DANGER
This shaft turns at very high RPM. If the collar is not locked to the PTO shaft at the tractor end, or if the yoke at the aerator end is not secured properly, the driveline can fly loose with great force capable of causing serious injury or death.
5.Install the hitch pin through the hole on the end of each support arm to lock the hitch in place. Two (2) hitch pins are included in the owner’s packet of materials.
