3.Align and connect the splined PTO shaft and socket halves, as shown in PTO Shaft Connec- tion photo. The PTO shaft has a pilot end to ease alignment of shaft; fit shaft end into socket and rotate shaft until the splines line up as indi- cated by arrows, then slide together.

5.Raise mower body (instead of lifting the front of deck) and clip the counterweight springs to the receptacle on front of body. Lower the body to tension the springs. (Refer to Deck Counter- weight Spring Installation photo.)

6.With the counterweight springs connected, the weight on the deck caster wheels should be 15 to 25 Ib (6.8 to 11.3 kg); this adjustment is preset at the factory. If required, the spring ten- sion can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the elastic stop nuts located underneath the lower spring hook, or contact your local dealer if additional help is required. Refer to Deck Counterweight Spring Installation photo.
