CHECK CHAINS (EXTRA EQUIP-
MENT) FOR LIFT-MODELS
Check Chains are available for attachment to front
of Mower as an accessory. Check chains are used
to control cutting height and especially to allow
Mower to be lowered to the same preset cutting
height effortlessly. (Figure ASM-R-0149)
Install lower end of check chain (4) to hitch ears (6)
through lower holes (7) using bolts, nuts and
lockwashers(8). Tighten securely.
Install chain lugs (3) on either side of tractor top link
mounting (5) using bolt or pin of required diameter
and length. Cat I kit requires a 3/4” diameter bolt.
Cat II kit requires a 1" diameter bolt. Install top end
of check chains in brackets (3).
Cutting height is then set by placing proper chain
link in keyhole slot. Cutting height is easily
adjustable by hooking chain higher or lower in the
keyholes in chain lug (3).
For additional safety in transport,
raise mower as high as possible without having driveline hit deck and shorten check chains
as much as possible to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
DRIVELINE CLAMP CONE YOKE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Loosen the yoke clamp cone with a 11/16” (17mm) wrench and remove the cone from yoke. Slide yoke onto
the shaft and align hole for clamping cone with annular groove of gearbox shaft. Reinstall cone and tighten (75
lb.-ft. torque). Push and pull the driveline to ensure it is securely attached to the shaft. Regularly check the
driveline yoke to ensure a tight connection. To remove the yoke, remove the connecting cone and pull yoke off
the shaft. If the cone cannot be easily removed by hand, drive it out from the other side using a hammer and
punch.
NOTE: The clamping cone is serviced only as a complete assembly. Do not attempt to disassemble the
clamping cone.
