5. Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
("X" dimension). Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the inner shaft ("X1" dimension).
6. Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
("Y" dimension). Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the outer shaft ("Y1" dimension).
7.
Remove all burrs and cuttings.
8. Continue with "Check Driveline Maximum Length"
on page 10.
Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 1-3:
Driveline maximum allowable length, when fully
extended, must have a minimum overlap of profile tubes
by not less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and
outer profile tubes being of equal length.

Outer Shielding has been removed for clarity.
Driveline Maximum Length
Figure 1-3
1.
If not done, un-hook driveline from tractor and ditcher
shafts and pull outer and inner drivelines apart.
2. Measure and record "Free Length" of inner and
outer profiles as shown in Figure 1-3.
3. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
profile and reassemble the two profiles.
4. Move driveline halves together until profile tubes
overlap by 1/2 the "Free Length". Measure and
record "Maximum Allowable Length" as shown in
Figure 1-3.
5. Reattach inner driveline yoke to gearbox shaft and
outer driveline yoke to tractor's PTO shaft.
6. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
ensure that both ends are secured. Reattach any end
that is loose.
Check Driveline Interference
Refer to Figure 1-4:
1.
Start tractor and raise Powered Ditcher just enough
to raise parking stands off the ground.
2. Remove wire retaining pins (#3) and raise parking
stands fully up to hole "D" .
3. Reinsert wire retaining pins (#3) and catch wire
retainer over end of pin.

WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
A rotating driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up
or down, and never engage a driveline while at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down. The driveline can break and
send projectiles.
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline damage. A
driveline that is operating must not exceed an angle
of 25 degrees up or down while operating 3-point lift.
4. Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-point control lever
to lower ditcher while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if
required.
5. Raise and lower implement to find maximum
extended driveline length. Check to make certain
driveline does not exceed maximum allowable length
and 25
6. If needed, set tractor 3-point lift height to keep
driveline from exceeding the maximum allowable
length and 25
