Driveline Attachment - Schulte GX-130 Operator's Manual

7. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be
dirt free and greased for attachment.
To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft, twist the driveline yoke collar and
align the grooves and splines of the yoke with
those of the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke
onto the PTO shaft, release the locking collar, and
position the yoke until the locking collar balls are
seated onto the PTO shaft. Push and pull the
driveline back and forth several times to ensure a
secure attachment. OPS-R-0003_G str
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important 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. Push and pull the driveline back and forth
several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the
Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the
Implement.
"Bottoming Out" Check Procedures
• Disconnect driveline from the tractor and slide
the profiles together until fully compressed.
• Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8" from the
end of the outer shield and reattach the driveline
to the PTO shaft..
• With the PTO NOT TURNING, slowly drive the
tractor with mower attached through the sharp-
est turn possible and watch shaft movement.
With the PTO NOT TURNING, slowly drive the
tractor with the mower attached through the
most severe terrain conditions expected and
watch shaft movement.
• If the distance between the mark and the outer
shield becomes less than 2" at any point there is
a potential problem bottoming out the driveline
and the driveline should be replaced with shorter driveline. Contact your local dealer or Technical Service
for proper directions. OPS-R-0004_J str
NOTE: If tractor has a 540 RPM PTO, adjusting to a 16 inch position will gain additional 2 inches of telescoping
length.
