Tractor Drawbar:

1. Raise or remove the safety guard around the tractor PTO shaft.
2. Using a straight edge, measure the distance from the end of the PTO shaft to

the back edge of the drawpin hole. This distance should be 20”.

3. If this distance is not correct, check to see if the tractor drawbar is adjustable,

and if there is a mounting hole that gives this dimension, adjust it so the
distance is 20”.

4. If the drawbar cannot be set correctly on the tractor, use the adjustable tractor

hitch unit supplied with the mower.

5. Mount the adaptor plate to the top of the drawbar as shown in the sketch.
6. Adjust the adaptor plate until the 20” dimension is set between the end of the

tractor PTO and the back edge of the drawpin hole.

7. Snug up the 4 mounting bolts and mount the input PTO shaft.

PTO BEARING MOUNTING BRACKET SETUP:

It is important that the PTO shaft be in a straight line between the tractor PTO and
the gearbox. This will ensure a long life and smooth operation of the driveline
components.

8. When the mower is connected to the tractor, the mower hitch frame (A) should

be as close to level with the ground as possible.
