Driveline Attachment; Pre-Operation Inspection And Service - Schulte SRW1400 Operator's Manual

8. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

Remove any tape from the gearbox shafts, and any
booklets from the driveline. Slide the clamp collar
end of the tractor shaft onto the gearbox shaft.
Insert the tapered pin/ bolt into the yoke. Push the
yoke until the groove of the shaft lines up with the
hole, and the pin extends through. Tighten the
locknut to squeeze the yoke onto the shaft.
Connect the universal joint assembly to the tractor
PTO. Align the quick disconnect yoke splines with
the tractor PTO splines. Compress the lock collar
spring and slide the yoke into place. Release the
spring to lock onto the PTO shaft.
When attaching the PTO yoke to the Tractor PTO shaft, it is important that the spring
activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove
of the PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could slip off
and result in personal injury and damage to the cutter.
Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not
bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates
the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out
can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and
through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken
driveline can cause personal injury.

9. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE

Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the windrower and tractor must be performed. This
includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped and
functional, and performing needed repairs. Do not operate the windrower and tractor if the pre-operation
inspection reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and
missing parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable
down time and repair cost can be avoided.
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on
the Implement. Never work on the Implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and
running. Rotating Parts, Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause
immediate entanglement, injury or death.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
