engaged and the mower is securely hitched to the tractor.

4) Hold the splined input yoke against the end of the tractor PTO
shaft; rotate either the tractor PTO or input driveline by hand
until the shaft slides on slightly.
5) Slide the yoke fully
onto the tractor’s PTO, the locking collar
should automatically engage when the yoke is properly
engaged with the tractor PTO.

that it is securely locked in place.
7) Attach the PTO cover safety chain to the tractor. Ensure cover
is properly retained by the chain on the mower end.
