Driveline Installation
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person's body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
•
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor's power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor's power take-off shield.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always disengage power take-off, put tractor in park or set
park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and
wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting
tractor.
!
CAUTION
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Be certain your tractor's power take-off is set at the
implement's rated power take-off speed or equipment
breakage may result. RC models are rated for 540 rpm and
RCM models are rated for 1000 rpm.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
The driveline must be lubricated before putting it into
service. Refer to "Lubrication Points" on page 29.
The power take-off shaft and gearbox input shaft
must be aligned and level with each other when
checking driveline minimum length. A driveline that is
too long can damage tractor and implement.
