ii. Connecting the Hydraulics
The hydraulic wing operation is supplied with a set of hoses for both wings, allowing both
wings to be raised and lowered simultaneously.
The hydraulic valve needs to be of the double acting type with locked neutral position.
The male quick-release couplings supplied are half inch and should suit most tractors,
though some have unique fittings. Consult your tractor dealer or hydraulic specialist if the
fittings are not compatible.
a) Before connecting the hydraulics, carefully wipe the quick-release couplings to avoid
contamination and possible damage to the system.
b) Check that the hoses are connected so that the hydraulic valve levers operate the
wing in the desired direction. Swap the hose connections if necessary.
c) Operate the hydraulic valves to lift and lower the wings through their full cycles
several times to clear any air out of the system.
DRIVESHAFT (INITIAL FITTING)
If the tractor and mower have never been used together before, proceed as follows:
Separate the inner and outer halves of the driveshaft.
Attach one half to the tractor PTO output shaft and the other half to the mower
gearbox input shaft.
Hold the two sections of the driveshaft parallel to each other and lift the mower
slowly on the three-point linkage.
Throughout the lifting arc, check that the two sections do not close right up or
extend so far that there is less than 100mm of inner shaft engaged.
If the shaft is too long, cut equal amounts off both inner and outer shafts (including
guards) using a hacksaw. De-burr and thoroughly clean the cut areas and apply a
liberal amount of multi-purpose grease to the contacting steel parts.
If the driveshaft is too short, contact your dealer as it will be necessary to replace some
driveshaft componentry with suitably longer parts.
