CONNECTING AND REMOVING
DRIVELINE (TRACTOR PTO)

shaft until locking device engages.
To Remove:
Hold driveline into position, pull locking collar back, and slide driveline off trac-
tor PTO shaft.
Figure 4.
DRIVELINE INSTALLATION
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
distance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If the dis-
tance is too large, the driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If dis-
tance 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 operation. There must be at least 101.6 mm (4 inches) of
engagement at the cutter's lowest possible point of operation. The driveline
must not bottom out when raised to the maximum height possible.

Quick Hitch Set-Up
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.
SHORTENING 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.
