6.3 Setting Deck Pitch
Lower Horse Power - Better Fuel Efficiency
To increase fuel efficiency and lower horsepower
requirements for mower operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately
3/4" LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass only once and requires less
work from the tractor.
Increase Mulching
To increase mulching of the grass or crop material
during mower operation, the mower should be
operated with the deck approximately 3/4" HIGHER
IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a
more even cut and improved distribution of the cut
material.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper adjust -
ment may cause rods to snap or bend. Retighten
the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been set. OPS-

7.DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be
dirt free and greased for attachment.
To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back 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.
