Driveline Installation
IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to "Lubrication
Points" on page 30.
Refer to Figure 1-3:
1. Unsnap side access covers (#4) from both sides of
the gearbox shield. Save covers for reuse.
2. Remove bolt (#2) from end of driveline (#5).
3. Slide driveline (#5) onto gearbox input shaft until
holes in driveline yoke aligns with hole in gearbox
input shaft.
4. Insert bolt (#2) through driveline yoke and gearbox
input shaft.
5. Secure bolt with removed nut (#3). Tighten hex nut to
the correct torque.
6. Skip to step #8 if installing a slip clutch driveline.
NOTE: Snap ring (#1) is for extra security should
driveline shear bolt (#2) break. Do not use snap ring
with a slip clutch driveline.
7. If driveline (#5) has a shear bolt instead of a slip
clutch, install snap ring (#1) onto the gearbox input
shaft groove. Discard snap ring if driveline has a slip
clutch.
8. Reinstall access covers (#4).
9. Raise driveline (#5) up and rotate driveline hook (#6)
down.
10. Lower driveline (#5) until resting in driveline
hook (#6).

DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly
behind the power machine or near the implement.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.

NOTE: Land Pride's Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
A 3-point Category I or II hitch is required. The lower
3-point arms of the 3-point hitch must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
1. Locate cutter on a flat level surface.
2. Slowly back tractor up to the Rotary Cutter while
using the tractor's 3-point hydraulic control to align
lower 3-point arm holes with hitch pin holes "A" .
3. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
4. Attach lower lift arms to clevises with hitch pins (#1)
and secure with linchpins (#2).
5. Connect top center 3-point link to upper hitch with
clevis pin (#3) and hairpin cotter (#4).
6. Return to tractor and slowly raise and lower cutter
carefully to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and other
equipment on the tractor do make contact with cutter
frame. Move or remove drawbar if needed.
7. Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or
down to level the Rotary Cutter from left to right.
8. Manually adjust the length of the top-link to level the
Rotary Cutter from front to rear. Final deck leveling
adjustments will be made later.
9. The tractor's lower 3-point lift arms should be
adjusted for lateral float. Please consult your tractor's
manual for adjusting instructions.
