OPERATION
7.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate a safe and efficient operation, the
mower should be operated with the deck
approximately 3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN
THE REAR. The correct deck pitch is obtained as
follows:
9. Lower the Mower until the rear of the mower is
resting securely on its tail wheel.
10. Slowly lower the 3-point lift arms further until
the front of the mower is at least 3/4” lower than
the rear of the mower.
11. Place the tractor’s 3-point control lever stop at
this position so that each time the mower is
raised and lowered the deck pitch will be main-
tained.
Operating the mower with the front of the deck slightly lower than the rear allows the mower to cut the grass
only once and requires less work from the tractor. In addition, a more even distribution of the clippings from
the rear of the mower will be achieved with this angle. OPS-R-0002_A
8. 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_A
