6.1 Leveling Deck
To Facilitate a safe and efficient mowing operation,
the mower should be operated parallel to the
ground at all times. Never operate if front or rear of
mower is tilted upward. Objects may be discharged
at high speeds causing possible injury or even
death.
Adjust Top Link to level mower roller adjustment.
Side Skid Shoes should always be parallel to
ground throughout the full adjustment range. Adjust
cutting height of machine by raising or lowering rear
roller as specified in Operation Section.
Driveline Length Check
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason,
including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the
Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or
even death from objects thrown from the Blades.

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.
After the driveline is securely attached, place the
tractor PTO master shield back in the operating
position.
OPS-R-0003
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the
connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft
could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.
