Tractor / PTO Shaft Hook-Up

!

DANGER!

Rotating driveline contact can cause death. KEEP AWAY! Do
not operate without guards attached and driveline securely at-
tached at both ends.

Refer to Figures 5 and 6

1.

The tractor drawbar should be adjusted to ASAE stan-
dard or as shown.

Adjust implement driveline to a position which is level
with the tractor PTO.

2.

Position PTO shaft on tractor. Be sure shaft is coupled
on tractor.

Refer to Figure 7

3.

Adjust the vertical position of the pump driveshaft on
the sprayer so that it is level, to slightly higher than lev-
el with the PTO shaft on the tractor. This reduces driv-
eline vibration when turning a corner. Adjust the
vertical position by moving the four bolts supporting
the driveshaft bracket.

NOTE: If, after adjusting the vertical position of the pump
driveshaft, the driveshaft is still a lot higher than the PTO
driveshaft on the tractor; adjust the hitch up one position
and readjust the pump driveshaft. Refer to Tractor/Sprayer
Hook-Up Instructions
in this section starting on page 11 to
adjust the hitch.

Axle Adjustment

When using the 50 and 60 foot Cross-Fold Booms, leave
the axle in the rear most position.

!

CAUTION!

Axle position must be located correctly to avoid excessive
tongue weight or negative tongue weight which could cause me-
chanical failure resulting in personal injury.

Refer to Figure 8

The wheel spacing of the axle can also be adjusted for dif-
fering row spacings.

!

CAUTION!

Do not adjust the wheel spacing wider than 120". To do so may
cause a falling axle hazard while the sprayer is in service.
