7. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be dirt
free and greased for attachment.
1. Start by using the driveline that was shipped with
the cutter being used.To connect the driveline to the
tractor PTO output shaft, twist driveline yoke collar 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.
Adjust the lift rods linking the tongue to the rear axle
until mower is at least 3/4” lower in the rear that than
the front. To lower the front, lengthen the lift rods and
to raise the front shorten the rods. IMPORTANT: Adjust
the lift 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.

6.2 Setting Deck Pitch
To facilitate safe and efficient operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4”
LOWER IN THE REAR THAN THE FRONT.
Operating the mower with the rear of the deck slightly
lower than the front provides better suction, lifting the
grass and creating a clean cut with less windrowing.
For heavier applications, the front of the mower may
need to be raised an additional 1/2" - 1".
2. Use the driveline that was shipped with the flex arm
to connect to the flexarm and cutter.Connect the mower
driveline to the gearbox output shaft, twist driveline yoke
collar and align the grooves and splines of the yoke
with those of the gearbox output shaft. Push the
driveline yoke onto the output shaft, release the locking
collar, and position the yoke until the locking collar
balls are seated onto the output shaft. Push and pull
the driveline back and forth several times to ensure a
secure attachment.
