Driveline Installation
!
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking 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 implement.
•
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.
•
Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel
at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph with attached
equipment. Some rough terrains require a slower speed.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter with a quick hitch. 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.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is hooked to different tractors
or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to "Lubrication
Points" on page 24.
IMPORTANT: 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.
