6.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass only once and requires less
work from the tractor. In addition, a more even
distribution of the clippings from the rear of the
mower will be achieved with this deck pitch.
Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the
rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4”
lower in the front that than the rear. To lower the
front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the
front shorten the leveling rods. IMPORTANT: Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and maintain equal
tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the jamnuts after the
deck pitch has been set. OPS-R-0002
7. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be
dirt free and greased for attachment.
To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back and
align the grooves and splines of the yoke with those
of the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke onto the
PTO shaft, release the locking collar, and position
the yoke until the locking collar balls are seated
onto the PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline
back and forth several times to ensure a secure
attachment.
After the driveline is securely attached, place the
tractor PTO master shield back in the operating position. OPS-R-0003
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the
connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor
PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.
