DRIVELINE INSTALLATION (TRACTOR PTO)

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

To Install:

Pull locking collar back and at the same time push the driveline onto tractor PTO shaft until locking device engages.

To Remove:

Hold driveline into position, pull locking collar back, and slide driveline off tractor PTO shaft.

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT

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 normal operation. There must be at least 4 inches of engage- ment at the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation. Driveline must not bottom out when raised to the maxi- mum 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.

SHORTEN DRIVELINE

1.Move cutter up and down to get the shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft.

2.Separate driveline into two halves and connect them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.

3.Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.
