§ All PTO shafts have a short chain attached on both ends. Find a location to
wrap or hook on short chain. Be sure that when decks are brought into
transport position, the safety chain will not bind or pull PTO shield.
§ The Intermediate shaft is installed with the large bell end onto the main gear
box. Slide the 4 bolt flange bearing onto the intermediate shaft. Fasten the
flange bearing to the back side of the mounting plate. Install the shield and
level the PTO shaft. See section on “Hitching to the Tractor”.
