Preparing the mower for transport on public roads
WARNING:
Legal requirements for transport on public roads may differ from state to
state. Check your location’s requirements and comply.
To comply with safety precautions concerning transport on the public roads the mower should be
equipped with the following devices:
portable warning-light plates, to be mounted on both sides of mower top guard in their
holders. The panel consists of warning plate with combined lamp mounted (parking, stop
lights and driving direction) and with red reflectors facing the rear and white light on the
front.
WARNING:
Do not drive on public roads if the machine’s transport height is more than
13' 2'' (when transported, transport height should be lowered on the tractor
links).

Mounting PTO shaft
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower’s side.
When connecting PTO shaft between tractor and mower make sure that external guard tube of the
shaft is on the tractor’s side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their
small chains to immovable parts of tractor and mower. The PTO shaft must operate at the lowest
possible angle. This will ensure that both shaft and the machine last as long as possible.
CAUTION:
If need be, shorten the PTO shaft according to its operator’s manual given by
the shaft’s manufacturer (
Fig. 12
).
