4. Cut the shield and shaft of the mower half so the same amount is removed as the tractor half. Deburr the
ends, lubricate the shaft halves with grease and reassemble the halves.
5. Install the IID shaft on the tractor and mower. Raise and lower the mower to check for shaft contact
(bottoming-out) with the mower yoke end. At the maximum compressed point, the shaft should look like
Figure 9 . Make sure that at least 4" of the inner shaft remains engaged in the outer shaft at all times.

6. Check the angle of the joints at each end of the IID shaft
when the mower is in operating position.
The maximum operating angle is 30 degrees.
(See
Figure 10 .)
IMPORTANT: Failure to make these adjustments prior to operating the cutter could result in premature IID shaft
failure.
NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER WITH THE SHIELDS OR GUARDS REMOVED. DO NOT
APPROACH ROTATING SHAFTS WHEN IN OPERATION!
