OPERATION

When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement. (S3PT-17)

7.1 Driveline Length Check

Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause personal injury. (S3PT-18)

When fitting the mower to the tractor, the telescoping driveline must be inspected to ensure that at its most compressed position, the profiles do not “bottom out”, and when at its farthest extended position, there is sufficient engagement between the profiles to operate safely. At its shortest length, there must be at least a 1” clearance between each profile end and opposite profile universal joint. At its farthest operating extension, a minimum profile engagement of 12” must be maintained.

“Bottoming Out” Check Procedure

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

Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.

Reattach the driveline to the PTO Shaft.

Lift and Semi-Mount Type - Raise the mower/ Pull Type - Turn sharply and watch the driveline as it approaches the mark. If the distance between the mark and the end of the outer shield tube becomes less than 2” at any point, the driveline must be shortened. OPS- R-0004_D
