ATTACHING TO TRACTOR continued....

STEP 6

Raise rotary mower and remove blocking. Raise and lower rotary mower

in order to locate the longest distance between equipment input shaft and

the tractor PTO output shaft. With the rotary mower in the longest distance

position, shut down the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK THE ROTARY

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 authorized King

Kutter Dealer.

NOTE

If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (page 19)

STEP 8

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

shaft section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on rotary mower and tractor.

NOTE: If you shear the bolt that attaches the PTO shaft to the gear box replace

with a grade 2 bolt only . Replacement with another grade of bolt will void

your warranty and may cause terminal damage to the PTO shaft, gearbox,

or tractor. (King Kutter shear pin 5 pack part #500101)

WARNING

Failure to install retaining clip on gearbox input shaft would allow driveline

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.
