6. Rear Mower Completly Connected. With the
rear mower completly connected. Check all Oil lev-
els and grease mower components (See Figure 9)
before running mower. Also DO NOT start tractor if
the rest of the assembly to the interstater is not
done. Make certain that all hoses, compontents,
wiringing is completed and Oil Tank for interstater
has been filled with oil.
7. Slip clutch is incorporated in the PTO driv-
eline. It is designed to slip, absorb the shock load,
and protect the driveline.
It is important that the
clutch lining plates slip when an obstacle or load
heavier than clutch setting is encountered. There-
fore, if the machine sits outside longer than 30 days
and is exposed to rain and/or humid air it is impor-
tant to make sure that the clutch lining plates are not
rusted/corroded together. Before using the mower
use the following procedure to make sure the clutch
will slip and give the overload protection required.
(See Figure 8) This is a required step because the
driveline has been sitting and may be stuck.
A. Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can
freely rotate, yet remain secure on bolts.
B. Attach mower to tractor and start the tractor.
Set the engine speed at 1200 RPM.
C. Mark outer plates with marker, paint or any
form that will work for you to tell if the compo
nents of the clutch slipped.
D. Engage the PTO (approximately one sec-
ond) and then quickly disengage it. The
friction lining plates should break loose
(check the mark).
E. Turn tractor off and tighten the nuts on the
springs to their original position of 1-5/16"
compressed spring length.
