ASSEMBLY
Keep coworkers and bystanders away from the implement while filling.
13. Continue to hold the control lever until both wings are down and the wing cylinders are fully extended. Con-
tinue to cycle the cylinders several times by raising and lowering the wings fully to remove any trapped air.
If there is sponginess during the raising cycle, this may indicate that air is trapped in the hydraulic circuit.
Continue to cycle the cylinders until all sponginess is removed.
14. Test to make sure the wings lower slowly when they are allowed to float down and are not powered down.
This is a safety feature built into the system. If the wings fall rapidly, have the hydraulic system or cylinders
repaired before operating the implement.
CONNECTING DRIVELINE
Many of the equipment components are HEAVY (60 lbs or greater) and Special Lifting
Procedures are recommended. Use lifting assistance such as mechanical assistance, two
people, and proper lifting techniques when connecting or installing the driveshaft to reduce
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor
PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in
excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also
change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious
bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.

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.

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. OPS-R-0003_I
