          • 4. 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 shortened.
            • 1. Remove the driveline from the tractor.
            • 2. Position the mower to the point with the shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down the tractor and securely block the mower in this position.

            • 4. Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place mark on opposite section. Cut this length off with a saw.
            • 5. Round off all sharp edges and debar.
            • 6. Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.
            • 7. Recheck for proper operation.
              • 1. With the driveline attached, position the mower to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.
