STEP 6

Raise finishing mower and remove blocking. Raise and lower finishing

mower in order to locate the longest distance between equipment input

shaft and the tractor PTO output shaft. With the finishing mower in the

longest distance position shut down the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK

THE FINISHING MOWER IN POSITION.

STEP 7

As in step 5 hold PTO shaft sections together and check for a minimum

of 6 inches of overlap. If PTO shaft has been marked for cutting the

overlap is the distance measured between the two marks. If the PTO

shaft has less than a 6 inch overlap, DO NOT USE. Contact your autho-

rized King Kutter Dealer.

NOTE

If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (pg. 18)

STEP 8

Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO

shaft section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on finishing mower and

tractor.

WARNING

Failure to install retaining clip on gearbox input shaft would allow driv-

eline to swing freely if bolt is sheared causing possible injury or death.

STEP 9

Pull on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place.

Make certain PTO shaft shielding is in place and good working condition.

STEP 10

The PTO shaft shield is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior

to equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke shield attach to a fixed

object on the tractor and equipment ends that will not allow the PTO

shaft shield to rotate during operation.
