Buhler FK314 manual Basic Assembly Instructions, Step

			85” Snowblower
		BASIC ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1.	Assemble the snow chute, referring to instructions under the appropriate
	heading for “manual chute” or “hydraulic chute”.
STEP 2.	Check the gearbox and fill to the lower level with a winter grade
	transmission oil.
STEP 3.	The snowblower is shipped with lower three point hitch pins for a category
	2 hitch.
STEP 4.	Using tape or bright colored marking pen, mark on the outer shields of the
	PTO, the position where the shaft is completely pushed together and the
	position where you have a 4” overlap. Watch these marks when moving
	the blower through all possible operating angles to see that the PTO shaft
	stays within this range.
STEP 5.	With the engine on the tractor shut off, attach the PTO shaft. The tractor
	end has a standard 6-spline end with a spring loaded locking collar. The
	snowblower end has a clamp style yoke with a 3/8” keyway. Slide the
	yoke onto the gearbox shaft with the 3/8” shaft supplied. Lock the yoke in
	place with a ½” x 3” hex bolt and lock nut fitted through the groove in the
	gearbox shaft. After tightening the bolt, insert and tighten the 3/8” socket
	set screw supplied.		CAUTION: Always check to see that
	both ends of the PTO shaft are securely attached every time the
	snowblower is used. This should always be done with the tractor shut off.
STEP 6.	Check that the PTO shaft does not bottom or separate with the
	snowblower in the extreme high and low positions. A longer optional PTO
	shaft is available if the standard shaft is too short. Check for free
	movement of all parts in various raised positions: particularly the PTO
	shaft.
STEP 7.	NOTE:	Excessive u-joint wear and shear pin failure may result if the
	PTO angle exceeds 20° . The drawing below gives an approximate way to
	check this angle. With the PTO half extended, the tractor output should
	not be over 28 inches high. Use 30 inches if the PTO is nearly fully
	extended and 26 inches if it is nearly compressed.
