Note: If the dimension in step
(1-1/2 inches) greater than the dimension in step 3, the
PTO shaft is too long; proceed to step 5. If there is
enough clearance to allow the PTO shaft to collapse,
proceed to step 10.

5. Use the following calculation to establish how much
shorter the shaft must be, when connected, to ensure a
clearance of 37 mm (1-1/2 inches):
A. Subtract the dimension recorded in step
the dimension recorded in step 2.
Note: Record this dimension.
B. Subtract the result in step
inches).
Note: The PTO shaft must be shortened by this
amount.
6. Cut the guards and the steel tubes shorter by the
calculated length.
Note: Cut both halves of the PTO shaft.
7. Deburr the ends of the steel tubes internally and
externally.
8. Remove all debris from the tube sections.
9. Grease the steel tubes.
10. Assemble the PTO shaft and secure it to the blower
and tractor.
11. Measure the shaft.
Note: If it is not at least 37 mm (1-1/2 inches), repeat
the procedure.
12. Raise the blower to the highest position.
Note: There must be at least 75 mm (3 inches) of
overlap of the halves. Adjust the 3-point-lift stop, if
necessary; refer to 7 Adjusting the 3-Point-Lift Stop
(page 9).
