8. Engage the tractor PTO. It is very important to feather in the PTO.
DANGER: Never engage the PTO until all three mowers are in the down position
and resting on the ground. Never raise the mowers until all three deck blades
have come to a complete stop. Doing so will cause damage to the driveline yokes
and/or cross and bearings and can create a situation which endangers the
operator or bystanders.
3.07 - Constant Velocity Driveline
It is extremely important that the Constant Velocity Driveline be at the correct length in
relation to the tractor on which it is to be used. The driveline length might be too long for
certain tractors whose tires allow for a very sharp turning radius. The proper length is
one which allows for a maximum of overlap without the possibility of bottoming out on
tight turns. The bottoming out of the driveline can seriously damage the tractor
PTO and/or the mower drive transmission. We recommend the following method for
determining the proper length. On the tightest turn possible (the tractor tires rubbing the
frame tongue) the driveline should be at least ½”-1” from bottoming out. Keep in mind
that the Constant Velocity Driveline is rated at a maximum of 80 degrees turning radius.
Towing a mower this size, most tractors cannot turn this sharply.
