"Bottoming Out" Check Procedure"
1. Disconnect driveline from the tractor and
slide the profiles
compressed.
2. Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8" from
the end of the outer shield and reattach the
driveline to the PTO shaft.
3. With the PTO NOT TURNING, slowly drive
the tractor with mower attached through the
sharpest turn possible and watch shaft
movement. With the PTO NOT TURNING,
slowly drive the tractor with the mower
attached through the most severe terrain
conditions expected
movement.
4. If the distance between the mark and the
outer shield becomes less than 2" at any
point there is a potential problem bottoming
out the driveline and the driveline should be
shortened.
Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:
1. Remove the driveline from the tractor.
2. Position the mower to the point with the
shortest distance between the tractor PTO
shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down the
tractor and securely block the mower in this
position.
3. Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO
shaft.
4. Hold driveline sections parallel to one
another and measure back 1" from yoke of
each shaft and place mark on opposite
section. Cut this length off with a saw.
5. Round off all sharp edges and debar.
6. Thoroughly grease
driveline.
7. Recheck for proper operation.
1. With the driveline attached, position the mower to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its
maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.
2. Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8" from the end of the outer shield.
3. Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.
4. Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. This length is the amount the driveline
profiles were engaged.
