DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT

Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis- tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too

small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the cutter or tractor.

The driveline length must be sufficient to provide at least 1/3 driveline length of engagement during normal operation. There must be at least 4 inches of engage- ment at the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation. Driveline must not bottom out when raised to the maxi- mum height possible.

If driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer for a longer driveline.

If driveline is too long, please follow the instructions for shortening the driveline.

SHORTEN DRIVELINE

1.Move cutter up and down to get the shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft.

2.Separate driveline into two halves and connect them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.

3.Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.
