Section 1: Assembly & Set-Up
Driveline Installation
Refer to Figure 1-4 and Figure 1-5:
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement
shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers,
or a combination of both and with either a shear bolt or
slip clutch on one end for protection from shock loads.
Always engage the power take-off at low engine rpm to
minimize start-up torque on the driveline. Drivelines
with friction clutches must go through a "run-in"
operation prior to initial use and after long periods of
inactivity. See "Section 4: Maintenance &
Lubrication" on page 25 for a detailed description of
maintaining the driveline.
IMPORTANT: The drivelines must be lubricated
before putting them into service. Refer to
"Lubrication Points" on page 29.
IMPORTANT: Drivelines with friction clutches must
go through a "run-in" prior to initial use and after long
periods of inactivity. For detailed instructions, see
"Driveline Maintenance" on page 26.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
Refer to Figure 1-6 on page 13:
1.
Clean gearbox input shaft of any coating except
grease applied to protect against rust.
2. Pull on the pull collar or push on the push pin and
slide slip clutch or shear bolt end of driveline (#1)
over the gearbox input shaft.
3. Release the pull collar or push pin and continue to
push the driveline onto the gearbox input shaft until
the pull collar or push pin pops out and locks in place.
4. Push/pull on slip-clutch or shear bolt yoke end of
driveline (#1) to ensure it is securely fastened to the
gearbox input shaft.
5. Continue with "Tractor Hook-Up" on this page.

DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
A crushing hazard exists while Connecting and
disconnecting the implement. Keep people and animals
away while backing-up to the implement or pulling away
from the implement. Do not operate hydraulic controls
while a person or animal is directly behind the power
machine or near the implement.
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine
weight requirements and maximum limitations.
