Driveline Installation
Refer to Figure 1-5, Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a combination of both and with either a shear bolt or slip clutch on one end for protection from shock loads.
Always engage the PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
!CAUTION
Tractor PTO shield and all tiller guards must be in place at all times during operation!
IMPORTANT: Always check driveline maximum and minimum length during initial setup, when connecting to a different tractor and when alternating between using a quick hitch and a standard
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to aligning the tractor’s PTO shaft level with tiller’s PTO shaft when checking to see if the driveline’s minimum length is correct.
Too long a driveline can damage the tractor, gearbox and driveline.
Checking Driveline Minimum Length
Refer to Figure
1.Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic
2.Slide the slip clutch or shear bolt yoke end of driveline (#12) over the splined input shaft of gearbox. Secure with driveline yoke locking device.
3.Slide the opposite driveline yoke end over the tractor’s splined driveline shaft. Secure with driveline yoke locking device. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor and implement.
Refer to Figure 1-8 on page 13:
4.The driveline will require shortening if it is too long to fit between the tractor and tiller gearbox. Shorten driveline as follows:
