Driveline Length Check
7.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4” LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow 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 deck pitch.
Adjust the leveling rods linking the tongue to the
rear axle until the front of the mower is at least 3/4”
lower in the front that than the rear. To lower the
front, lengthen the leveling rods and to raise the
front shorten the leveling rods. IMPORTANT: Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and maintain equal
tension in the rods. Improper adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten the jamnuts after the
deck pitch has been set. OPS-R-0002
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.
After the driveline is securely attached, place the
tractor PTO master shield back in the operating position. OPS-R-0003
