5.Install a 7/16" lynch pin or other fastener (supplied by customer) thru the hitch pin hole to lock the lower links into position.

6.Connect the driveline to the tractor’s PTO output shaft and secure with locking device on driveline. Connect the safety chain to the hitch brace on the cutter to re- strict outer shield of driveline from rotating.

NOTE: Chain should be attached at implement end of driveline.

7.Connect the top link to the upper pivot hitch using the 3/4" hitch pin supplied.

8.Start the tractor and slowly engage the tractors hy- draulic 3-point to lift the cutter. Check for sufficient drawbar clearance. Move the drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if required. Watch the telescoping move- ment of the driveline to ensure that it does not bottom out while lifting the 3-point. If the driveline does bottom out, it will require shortening:

Refer to Figure 1-5:

a.Hold the half shafts next to each other in the short- est working position and mark them.

b.Shorten the inner and outer guard tubes equally.

c.Shorten the inner and outer profiles by the same length as the guard tubes.

d.Proper overlap is a minimum of one-half the length of each tube, with both tubes being of equal length.

e.Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. grease sliding profiles before re-assembly.
