Check Driveline Interference
1. Start tractor and raise Rotary Tiller just enough to
remove support blocks from under tiller.
2. Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-Point control lever
to lower tiller while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if
required.
Refer to Figure 1-12:
!
WARNING
Lifting unit more than 6" above ground with PTO engaged or
engaging PTO with unit higher than 6" above ground can
break the driveline and could cause flying projectiles.
!
WARNING
The driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or
down while operating. Exceeding this angle with driveline
rotating can break the driveline and cause flying projectiles.
3. With PTO off, raise implement fully up and make the
following checks below. If driveline exceeds any of
the limits listed, set tractor 3-Point lift limiter at a
height that will keep the driveline within its lift limits to
avoid premature driveline breakdown.
•
Tines do not exceed more than 6 " off the ground.
•
Driveline does not exceed 25
o
up.
IMPORTANT: Land Pride recommends that tractor
lift height limiter be used to prevent tiller from being
raised more than 4
" to 6 " out of the ground when
PTO is engaged and when driving from site to site.
The tiller should be raised fully up only while loading
and unloading from a transportation device such as a
trailer.
