HITCHING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR

1) With the draw pin placed in the hitch clevis, back the tractor to the hitch clevis.
2) When the draw pin holes are aligned, place the tractor controls in the park
position, shut the engine off and engage the parking brake.
3) Remove draw pin from the hitch clevis and place in the draw pin hole connecting
the mower to the tractor.
4) Raise parking jack fully and place in storage position.

STOWING THE JACK

The jack cannot be stowed in
the parked position while
mowing. A second storage
position is provided along the
frame of the mower to avoid
damage to the jack while
mowing.

CONNECTING THE TRACTOR PTO

1) Ensure that the tractor engine is shut off, the parking brake is engaged and the
mower is securely hitched to the tractor.
2) Slide the mower input shaft locking collar backwards, opening the locking
mechanism. Locking collar should remain in an open position
3) When it is safe to do so, hold the PTO against the end of the tractor PTO shaft,
rotate the tractor PTO by hand until the shaft slides on slightly.
4) Slide the yoke onto the tractor's PTO.
5) The locking collar should automatically engage when the yoke is properly
engaged with the tractor PTO.
6) Attempt to move the shaft forward and backwards to ensure that it is securely
locked in place.
7) Attach the PTO cover safety chain to the tractor. Ensure cover is properly
retained by the chain on the mower end.
If the PTO shaft comes off during operation, it may cause
personal injury and damage to the PTO shaft and tractor
PTO. When checking, make sure the locking collar is locked,
and that the shaft is not just jammed against the end of the
tractor PTO shaft.
