OPERATION

7.1 Driveline Length Modification

WARNING!

 

Before operating the Mower, check to make sure the 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.

When fitting the cutter 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 10” must be maintained.

“Bottoming Out” Check Procedure

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

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

3.Reattach the driveline to the PTO shaft.

4.Raise the cutter 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.

Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:

1.Remove the driveline from the tractor.

2.Raise and lower the cutter to find position with the shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down the tractor and securely block the cutter in this position.

3.Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO shaft.

4.Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place mark on opposite section. Cut this length off with a saw.

5.Round off all sharp edges and debur.

6.Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.

7.Recheck for proper operation.
