gearbox shaft is in line (level) with tractor power take-
off shaft.
4. Support mower deck at this height with support jacks
or blocks to keep mower from drifting down.

Driveline Hook-up to Tractor

!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person's body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
• All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
• Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor's power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor's power take-off shield.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel
at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with
attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.
Always shut tractor down using "Tractor Shutdown
•
Procedure" provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to "Lubrication
Points" on page 23.
Refer to Figure 1-3 on page 10:

2. Pull back on pull collar (#3) and hold while starting to
slide the universal joint onto the tractor's power take-
off shaft.
NOTE: See "Shorten Driveline" if driveline is too
long and will not go onto the tractor's power take-off
3. Once driveline starts onto the power take-off shaft,
release pull collar and continue to slide universal
joint on until pull collar releases and locks universal
joint to the tractor's power take-off shaft.
