CHECK PTO LENGTH DURING TURNS
:
The Pro-Flex 120 mower features a hose support which also serves the function to
limit the steering angle of the mower without damage to components. In proper
operation, the tractor tire should contact the hose support first if the operator attempts
to turn too sharp without damage to the drive-line.
To check tire contact:
a) With the tractor in the lowest gear and travelling very slowly, make a sharp turn.
b)
As you turn, watch closely to make sure the tractor tires contact the hose
support. (not other parts of the mower)
c) If the tires do not contact the hose support, adjust tractor tire width (if possible),
so they contact the hose support. Contact us for a modified guard
.
NOTE: This is not the worst condition. Making turns while the tractor is angling up a
hill will cause the PTO shaft to collapse even more. The operator should avoid making
sharp turns on uneven ground.
