OPERATION SECTION
Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:
• Remove the driveline from the tractor.
• Position the cutter to the point with the
shortest distance between the tractor
PtO shaft and cutter gearbox. Shut down
the tractor and securely block the cutter
in this position.
• Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to
PTO shaft.
• 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.
• Round off all sharp edges and debur.
• thoroughly grease then reinstall the
driveline.
• Recheck for proper operation.
Engagement Check Procedure
• With the driveline attached, position the cutter to the point where the telescoping driveline
is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.
• mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.
• Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.
• measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. this length is the amount
the driveline profiles were engaged.
• If the engaged length is less than 12” for a CV driveline and less than 6” for a non-CV
Driveline, the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer shaft.
Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.
NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator must
be made aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid damaging
the driveline.
