Attaching To The Tractor
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 (Fig. 1). 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, 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.
Connect the two hydraulic hoses, one to each separate single acting service, with a
dump facility. This is particularly important for the spool valve that operates the wings
as, when in work the wings must be able to follow the ground contours.
