WHEN CONNECTING IMPLEMENT DRIVELINE:(If equipped)
TO AVOID
implement driveline coming loose during operation:
• LUBRICATE yoke spring locking collar to ensure it freely slides on PTO shaft.
• SECURELY seat yoke locking balls in PTO shaft groove.
• PUSH and PULL DRIVELINE on both the tractor and implement PTO SHAFTS to ensure it is SECURELY
ATTACHED.
TO AVOID broken driveline during operations:
• CHECK driveline for proper length between PTO shaft and implement gearbox shaft. (Refer to Instructions in Operation
Section)
• Drivelines too short can pull apart or disengage.
• Drivelines too long can bottom out.
• Bottoming driveline telescoping assembly will stop sliding and become solid.
• Driveline bottoming can push through support bearings and break off PTO shaft.
CONTACT DEALER if implement driveline does not match Tractor PTO shaft:
• DO NOT USE PTO ADAPTER.
Using a PTO adapter can cause:
• Excessive vibration, thrown objects, blade and implement failures by doubling operating speed.
• Increased working length exposing unshielded driveline areas and entanglement hazards. PN CDBM-01
