ATTACHING TO TRACTOR

WARNING

Never stand between

tractor and finishing mower

while backing up tractor

to the hitch.

STEP 1

Attach to tractor's category 1 three point hitch as described in the

Tractor's Operator’s Manual.

STEP 2

Determine if the PTO shaft needs to be shortened.

NOTE:

Due to the many variations in the tractor hitch points and distances be-

tween equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO out put shafts,

some combinations may require PTO shafts to be shortened as de-

scribed by the following steps.

STEP 3

Raise and lower finishing mower in order to locate the shortest distance

between equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO output shaft.

With the finishing mower in the shortest distance position shut down the

tractor and SECURELY BLOCK FINISHING MOWER IN POSITION.

STEP 4

Pull apart PTO shaft and attach outer section to tractor PTO output

shaft. NOTE: Be sure to pull on PTO shaft section to ensure yoke has

locked into place.

STEP 5

Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if

PTO shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches

short of reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too

long measure 3 inches back from each u-joint shield and mark the other

shaft section. Be sure to do this for both PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do

not cut PTO shaft sections at this time.
