45 Series Rotary Tiller
DRIVELINE DIMENSION
A PTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To accommodate the variety of 3 point hitch geometry available today, the driveline can be too long for some machines and must be cut. It is very important that the driveline be free to telescope but not bottom out when going through its working range. If the driveline bottoms out, the bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time.
When cutting the driveline, follow this procedure:
1.Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2.Attach the Tiller to the tractor but do not attach the driveline.
3.Raise the machine until the input shaft is level with the tractor PTO shaft.
4.Measure the dimension between the locking groove on the tractor PTO shaft and the groove on the Tiller input shaft.
5.Measure the same dimensions on the compressed driveline.
6.If the driveline dimension exceeds the machine dimension, the driveline will have to be cut.
