PTO Hook-Up

If the Powered Rake is to be used on more than one tractor, an additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a quick hitch is used.

!CAUTION

Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can damage the PTO shaft and driveline.

IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s PTO is set for 540 rpm.

IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-2below.

IMPORTANT: The PTO driveline may be too long for some tractors. If the Powered Rake is used on more than one tractor, an additional PTO driveline may be required.

IMPORTANT: Aligning the tractor’s PTO shaft level with the Powered Rake’s PTO shaft is necessary when checking to see if the driveline will fit correctly between tractor and Powered Rake.

Refer to Figure 1-3:

1.Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lift lower arms until the Powered Rake’s driveline shaft is approximately level with tractor's PTO shaft.

2.Slide outer yoke end of driveline over the tractor's PTO shaft and secure with the locking collar. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor and Powered Rake.

3.The driveline will require shortening if it is too long to fit between tractor and Powered Rake. Shorten driveline as follows:

a.Raise 3-point lower arms until Powered Rake and tractor PTO shafts are approximately level with each other. Securely block Powered Rake frame in this position. Set tractor in park, shut tractor engine off, set park brake and remove switch key.

b.Pull driveline apart into two sections as shown in Figure 1-3.Attach outer driveline universal joint to the tractor PTO shaft and inner driveline universal joint to the Powered Rake gearbox shaft. Pull on each driveline section to be sure the universal joints are secured to the shafts.

c.Hold driveline sections parallel to each other to determine if they are too long. The inner and outer shields on each section should end approximately 1" short of reaching the universal joint shield on the adjacent section (see “B” dimension). If they are too long, measure 1" (“B” dimension) back from the universal joint shield and make a mark at this location on the inner and outer driveline shields.

d.Cut off the inner shield at the mark (“X” dimension). Cut the same amount off the inner shaft (“X1” dimension). Repeat cut off procedure (“Y” & “Y1” dimensions) to the outer driveline half.

e.Remove all burrs and cuttings.

f.Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer shaft and reassemble the driveline.

g.Attach inner driveline yoke end to the Powered Rake gearbox input shaft.

h.Attach outer driveline yoke end to the tractor's PTO shaft.

4.The driveline should now be moved back and forth to insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and Powered Rake PTO shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.
