Slide spring loaded locking collar (F) on PTO yoke rearward, and slide yoke onto the tractor PTO shaft. Release spring loaded collar. Be sure the pins fall into the grove of the tractor PTO shaft and collar snaps forward into position.

OPEN/CLOSED CENTER SYSTEM Fig. 1 VALVE CONVERSION (9’ HEAD) The valve is supplied in a closed center configuration suitable for use in circuits utilizing pressure compensated pumps. For use in gear pumps (open center) circuits, a conversion is required. The valve outlet section has a “T” port, as shown in Fig.
Transport speed should not exceed 20 M.P.H. FRAME GAUGE WHEELS There are two frame gauge wheels used on each Twin Merger. Their sole purpose is to keep the frame from contacting the ground in uneven terrain. The picture to the right shows the frame gauge wheels in the working position.
