Driveline Attachment - Oregon 480RT Original Instruction Manual

OPERATION
NOTICE
If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline and
gearbox damage is possible when hooking up the
PTO driveline from the rotary tiller to the tractor. The
front PTO driveline is long enough to fit a variety of
tractors. It is possible that the front PTO driveline will
need to be cut. There will be NO benefit by cutting
only one telescoping section. Both sections of the
driveline must be cut. DO NOT FORCE THE PTO TO
FIT.
WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE IS TOO
LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or cross
bearing damage.
NOTICE
The PTO driveline, when attached to the tractor and
gearbox, must not extend so there is less than four
inches of overlap within the PTO driveline.
7. Raise park stand and secure in operating position.

Driveline Attachment

Attach the rotary tiller to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and lower
the tiller to determine maximum and minimum distance
between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft.
If the distance is too large, the driveline will be too short
for proper engagement. If the distance is too small, the
driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the
tiller or tractor.
If the driveline is too short, please call your Oregon dealer
for a longer driveline.
If the driveline is too long, please follow the instructions for
shortening the driveline.
