ATTACHING
(continued from previous page)
4. Shorten center link or lengthen lift links to
provide clearance. (See your tractor
Operator’s Manual.)
IMPORTANT: PTO driveline may be too long for some
tractor models, causing tractor transaxle damage. Hold
driveline sections parallel to each other and check for a
minimum of 6 inches overlap.
5. Raise and lower cutter slowly to check for
binding or interference. Check cutter-to-tractor
driveline telescoping length to ensure it does
not bottom out. Modify driveline if necessary.
(See MODIFYING PTO DRIVELINE
in Assembly section.)
