MOWER SETUP FOR OPERATION
Always refer to tractor operator’s manual for specific detailed
information regarding operation of equipment.
Always ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the
engine is turned off, the parking brake is engaged and hydraulic
pressure to the tractor remote connectors has been relieved when
working around tractor during setup procedures.
HITCH ADJUSTMENT
Before hitching the mower to the tractor, ensure tractor drawbar is set
properly. Having the proper hitching dimensions for the tractor drawbar
and the PTO, will ensure long and trouble free hours of operation.
Incorrect setup may lead to contact between the mower and PTO
shaft, causing damage to the shaft.
The decal shown is mounted to the machine and indicates these
important hitch dimensions.
1)
The drawbar length must be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from
the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the draw pin.
2)
The top of the drawbar must be adjusted so it is 6” to 9” from
the center of the PTO shaft to the top of the drawbar.
3) The main frame of the mower should be level when hitched to
the tractor . The TD65 features an adjustable height hitch; the
adjacent figure shows the bolt-on hitch that can be turned to
give a total of 3
” in height adjustment.
4) The position of the hose support and hose guide rod may need
to be adjusted to provide clearance to the PTO shaft.
INSTALLING DECK PTO SHAFTS
Each deck on the TD65 mower is driven by a dedicated PTO shaft
from the 4-way gearbox centrally located on the machine frame. Each
deck PTO shaft has one end marked “tractor end”; this end must be
connected to the 4-way gear box.
The deck pto shaft yokes must be properly phased (timed) when
connected to the 4-way gear box. As shown in the illustration to the
right; install all deck shaft yokes in the same orientation (shown with
yokes installed “flat”).
*NOTE
– Some guards have been removed in illustration for better
clarity. Ensure all guards are reinstalled before operating mower.
Failure to install deck PTO shafts with proper phasing can lead to
failure of PTO shaft yoke(s) and/or the gear box when decks are
raised into transport position.
All PTO shafts feature non-rotating guards that require proper tethering
to the machine. Ensure the tether chains at each end of PTO shaft are
securely fastened to the mower framework in a manner that will not
bind or pull as the decks are raised and lowered.
