Bush Hog RMB 1445 manual Driveline Attachment

ASSEMBLY

DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

Before starting assembly, make certain that all paint, dirt, and grease are removed from gearbox shaft. To ease assembly apply a light coat of grease to splines and assemble. Do not assemble a driveline without a shield. Entanglement in rotating shafts can kill.

Measure distance shown between the tractor PTO Shaft and mower pump shaft. The driveline must collapse to 3” less than the measured dimension. It may be necessary to shorten the shaft. See Maintenance Section for procedures.

NOTE: The dimensions measured may vary on different tractors. If moving the mower to a different tractor, complete the measurement step again. If it is necessary to shorten the shaft, there must be at least 6” of shaft overlap in the operating position.

Fit PTO shaft and attach torque chain to prevent the shaft guard from rotating. (Figure Asm-B-0094) Raise the stand legs into the work position and secure. (Figure Asm-B-0095)
