IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to the
mower, make sure the PTO quick disconnect
is securely locked on the tractor, with the
locking balls fully seated in the groove and the
ring in the locked position (refer to the Quick
Disconnect Ring "Locked" Position illustra-
tion). After installation, pull on the PTO cou-
pler to check for security.
