Attach safety tow chain to flex arm and tractor. Fasten
the large loop of the safety chain to the hitch, using the
1” bolt, washer, and nut. Attach the other end of the
chain to tractor. Refer to your tractor operator’s manual
for complete instructions to attach chain to tractor.
Adjust length to allow only enough slack as is needed
for turning. Lock hook on chain. Ensure chain rating is
equal to, or greater than the gross weight of the towed
equipment.
Do not use safety tow chain for towing. Replace entire chain if any link or end fitting is broken,
stretched, or otherwise deformed. WARNING!
5. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be dirt
free and greased for attachment.
1. Start by using the driveline that was shipped with
the cutter being used.To connect the driveline to the
tractor PTO output shaft, twist driveline yoke collar and
align the grooves and splines of the yoke with those of
the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke onto the PTO
shaft, release the locking collar, and position the yoke
until the locking collar balls are seated onto the PTO
shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several
times to ensure a secure attachment.
2. Use the driveline that was shipped with the flex arm
to connect to the flexarm and cutter.Connect the mower
driveline to the gearbox output shaft, twist driveline yoke
collar and align the grooves and splines of the yoke
with those of the gearbox output shaft. Push the
driveline yoke onto the output shaft, release the locking
collar, and position the yoke until the locking collar
balls are seated onto the output shaft. Push and pull
the driveline back and forth several times to ensure a
secure attachment.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the PTO with the flex arm in the transport position for extended periods of time. This
may cause driveline vibration and will accelerate universal joint wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use a non-CV tractor shaft. Driveline damage will occur when turning the implement.
