9. Connect the PTO shaft:
a. Check that the PTO driveline
telescopes easily and that the shield
rotates freely.
b. Attach the driveline to the tractor by
retracting the locking sleeve, slide the
yoke over the shaft and push on the yoke
until the lock sleeve clicks into position.
Pull on the yoke to be sure the driveline is
locked on the shaft.
10. Connect the hydraulics:
a. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to
clean the couplers on the ends of the
hoses. Also clean the area around the
couplers on the tractor.
b. Remove the plastic plugs from the
couplers and isolate the hoses for the lift
arm circuit from the hoses for the cradle tilt
circuit.
c. Match the appropriate hoses with the
desired control lever in the tractor for ease
of operation. Insert the male ends of the
hoses into the female couplers on the tractor.
11. Route the hoses along the hitch and secure
in position to prevent entanglement with any
moving parts.
12 . Lower the hitch jack and rotate it 90º to
place in its stowed position.
13. When unhooking from the tractor, reverse
the above procedure. Use a plank under jack if
ground conditions are soft.
