Attaching To The Tractor
Fit the machine to the tractor in the standard way, ensuring the correct match of linkage
(CAT 2). Check that the top link is in good order and threads are well lubricated. Use
stabilisers to take any free movement out of lower link arms.
Before fitting the machine to the tractor linkage you should ensure there is sufficient
front weight to ensure the front wheels are always in contact with the ground. This is
most important for safe transport and stability when turning on slopes.
Before fitting the PTO for the first time, it may be necessary to adjust the length. There
should be maximum engagement of the sliding tubes without bottoming at the shortest
operation position. To check, first connect the mower to the tractor. Pull the PTO shaft
apart and connect to the tractor PTO output shaft and the gearbox input shaft. Hold
the half shafts next to each other in the shortest working position.
If necessary, shorten the inner and outer guard tubes equally. Shorten the inner and
outer sliding profiles by the same length as the guard tubes. File all sharp edges and
remove burrs. Grease sliding profiles.
To fit the PTO to the machine, first remove bolt and tapered pin from the slip clutch
yoke and push onto splined shaft of gearbox ensuring it is fully engaged before refitting
retaining bolt/pin.
To fit the PTO, first clean and grease press pins on the yoke and simultaneously push
the PTO drive shaft onto PTO shaft of the tractor until pins engage.
The PTO shaft is fitted with a non-rotating safety guard. It should be secured to the
machine and tractor with the two retaining chains provided
.
