hitch can be unbolted and rotated 180° to provide different heights.
Frame must be level to provide proper flotation. Refer to "Hitching mower
to tractor" for more information.
Activate hydraulics and cycle a couple times to be sure safety locks work
correctly.
Be sure to check fluid level in your tractor after this has been done.
Now, remove mower decks from shipping brackets and set them in their
respective positions. Lower wings, install pins, and bolt them in place.
Once the entire machine has been assembled, and sitting on a level floor,
measure to see that the front sides of all decks are close to the same height.
The rear of the decks should be slightly higher than the front. This will
require less power than if the back is lower and cutting the grass twice. If
this is all correct, tighten all hardware and recheck.
INSTALLING PTO SHAFTS
The three identical PTO shafts are used to drive the mower decks. Each
PTO shaft will have one end designated a tractor end. This end should be
hooked up to the main gear box.
IMPORTANT
when mounted to the gear box. See photo below. Mount the one side first
with the yoke laying flat. The opposite side must be mounted with the yoke
laying as flat as possible. ie. Timed.
