Installation of Universal Joint

Important
The length of the universal joint depends on
the model of the tractor to be installed.
Important
Do not install a universal joint that is either too
long or short.
If the universal joint is too long, it may strike
the PTO shaft of the tractor or the input shaft
of the attachment.
If the universal joint is short, the universal joint
engagement will be insufficient, causing
damage.
Important
Do not raise the attachment with only one side
of tractor's lower links installed.
Important
Do not keep the universal joint rotating while
the attachment is raised.
Otherwise, the universal joint and the
attachment may become damaged.
1. Set the PTO speed change lever of the
tractor to the "Neutral" position.
2. Slowly raise or lower the attachment to
adjust the input shaft of the attachment to
the same height as the PTO shaft of the
tractor.
3. Fully close the hydraulic stop valve.
Note:
Read the tractor's owner's manual for the
location of the hydraulic stop valve.
4. Apply the parking brake of the tractor, and
then stop the engine.
