DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT (MOUNTED)

Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis- tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the cutter or tractor.

The driveline length must be sufficient to provide at least 1/3 driveline length of engagement during opera- tion. There must be at least 4 inches of engagement at the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation. The driv- eline must not bottom out when raised to the maximum height possible.

If driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer for a longer driveline.

If driveline is too long, please follow the instructions for shortening the driveline.
