STEP 5
Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if PTO
shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches short of
reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too long meas-
ure 3 inches back from each u-joint shield and mark the other shaft section.
Be sure to do this for both PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft
sections at this time.
STEP 6
Raise finishing mower and remove blocking. Raise and lower finishing mower
in order to locate the longest distance between equipment input shaft and the
tractor PTO output shaft. With the finishing mower in the longest distance po-
sition shut down the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK THE FINISHING
MOWER IN POSITION.
STEP 7
As in step 5 hold PTO shaft sections together and check for a minimum of 6
inches of overlap. If PTO shaft has been marked for cutting the overlap is the
distance measured between the two marks. If the PTO shaft has less than a
6 inch overlap, DO NOT USE. Contact your authorized King Kutter Dealer.
NOTE
If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (pg. 18)
STEP 8
Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO shaft
section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on finishing mower and tractor.
WARNING - Failure to install retaining clip on gearbox input shaft would al-
low driveline to swing freely if bolt is sheared causing possible injury
or death.
STEP 9
Pull on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place. Make
certain PTO shaft shielding is in place and good working condition.
STEP 10
The PTO shaft shield is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior to
equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke shield attach to a fixed object
on the tractor and equipment ends that will not allow the PTO shaft shield to
rotate during operation.
