7.1 Leveling Deck
To Facilitate a safe and efficient mowing
operation, the mower should be operated parallel
to the ground at all times. Never operate if front or
rear of mower is tilted upward. Objects may be
discharged at high speeds causing possible injury
or even death.
Adjust Top Link to level mower roller adjustment.
Side Skid Shoes should always be parallel to
ground throughout the full adjustment range.
Adjust cutting height of machine by raising or
lowering rear roller as specified in Operation
Section.
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard
and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from
the Blades.

8. 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. Push and pull the driveline back and forth
several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the
Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the
Implement.
