Driveline Attachment - Hanmey Implements AGL Series Operation, Service & Parts Manual

DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

Before assembling the PTO shaft, check out that its RPM and direction of rotation
match those of the tractor. Moreover, read carefully the instruction manuals of the
PTO shaft and the tractor manufacturers. Before starting work, make sure all safety
shields are in place. Check in particular that the safety guards cover the PTO shaft
throughout its extension. When attaching the mower input driveline to the tractor
PTO, be sure that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and
the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the tractor PTO shaft. A
driveline not attached correctly to the tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in
personal injury and damage to the implement.
Check out that the cardan shaft minimum and
maximum length are the ones required by the
machine-tractor coupling. Should problems
arise, contact a skilled repair shop or the
driveshaft retailer. After installation, secure
safety guards both to the tractor and
the machine using the special chains and
make sure that they pivot freely. If the PTO
shaft is equipped with other safety devices,
such as a pair limiter or freewheels, be sure
to install them on the machine side. As for
the PTO use and maintenance refer to the
relevant booklet.

SET UP
Make sure the driveline will not bottom
out (at its most compressed position
there must be at least a 3/4" clearance
between each profile end and opposite
profile universal joint) or become
disengaged (at its farthest extended
position a minimum profile engagement
of 1/3 of the length must be maintained).
