“Bottoming Out” Check Procedure

1.Disconnect driveline from the tractor and slide the profiles together until fully compressed.

2.Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield and reattach the driveline to the PTO shaft.

3.With the PTO NOT TURNING, slowly drive the tractor with mower attached through the sharpest turn possible and watch shaft movement. With the PTO NOT TURNING, slowly drive the tractor with the mower attached through the most severe terrain conditions expected and watch shaft movement.

4.If the distance between the mark and the outer shield becomes less than 2” at any point there is a potential problem bottoming out the driveline and the driveline should be shortened.

Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:

1.Remove the driveline from the tractor.

2.Position the mower to the point with the shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down the tractor and securely block the mower in this position.

3.Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO shaft.

4.Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place mark on opposite section. Cut this length off with a saw.

5.Round off all sharp edges and debur.

6.Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.

7.Recheck for proper operation.

Driveline in maximum compressed position.

Engagement Check Procedure

1.With the driveline attached, position the mower to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.

2.Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.

3.Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.

4.Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. This length is the amount the driveline profiles were engaged.

5.If the engaged length is less than 12”, the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer shaft. Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.

NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator must be made aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid damaging the driveline.
