DRIVELINE LENGTH CHECK PROCEDURE
Before using mower check driveline length with tractor attached to mower.
1. Separate two halves of driveline and connect one half to tractor and the other half to mower.
2. Lower mower to normal operating position.
3. Bring the two driveline halves together as shown in figure 6. At this maximum compressed length there
should be 1-1/2 inches or more clearance from tubes bottoming out. If not, shorten the driveline to obtain
clearance. Shorten shield tubes and sliding profiles by the same amount. Round off all sharp edges and
remove burrs. Grease the sliding profiles.
4. Raise mower to transport position. Check driveline length at this maximum extension to make sure profile
tubes are always engaged at least 8 inches.
When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring activated locking
collar slides freely and is seated in groove in PTO shaft.
Be sure PTO shielding and all other shielding is installed and is in good condition.
