6. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

The driveline yokes, gearbox drive shafts, and tractor
PTO shaft must be dirt free and greased for attachment.
1. To connect the rear driveline to the tractor PTO output
shaft, slide driveline yoke collar and align the grooves
and splines of the yoke with those of the PTO shaft.
Push the driveline yoke onto the PTO shaft, release
the locking collar, and position the yoke until the locking
collar balls are seated onto the PTO shaft. Push and
pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure
a secure attachment.
Attach PTO Shaft to snow blower. Install key in shaft,
slide yoke over shaft and fasten with setscrew (A).
Tighten setscrew (B) at 90
with jam nut (C).
WARNING! When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting
yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the
groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could
come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.
Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not bottom

out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing
until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious
damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings
or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken drive line can cause personal injury.
