DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

Attach the rotary tiller to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and lower the tiller to determine maximum and mini- mum distance 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 the distance is too small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the tiller or tractor.

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

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

SHORTENING DRIVELINE

1.Move the tiller up and down to get the shortest pos- sible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gear- box input shaft. Leave the tiller in the minimum distance position. Install jack stands under the tiller for support.

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

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