Woods Equipment TCH4500 manual Assembly, Shorten Driveline

SHORTEN DRIVELINE

NOTE: On some smaller tractors the driveline may need to be shortened to allow connection to the PTO shaft. The pictures shown in these instructions are to be used as an example and do not show the chipper.

1.Attach equipment to the tractor 3-point hitch.

2.Raise and lower the equipment to determine the minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft.

3.Leave the equipment in the minimum position.

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

5.Place the two halves parallel to one another to determine how much the driveline must be shortened. See Figure 22.

6.Measure from the end of the upper shield to the base of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1- 9/16" to dimension (A). See Figure 23.
