DR Power TPH-184CHP - Manual (Page 12)

INSTALLATION
• Many tractors permit direct mounting to the lower support pins on the frame of the shredder/chipper. If the lower
hitch arms on your tractor do not have enough inward adjustment to attach to the lower support pins, a pair of pin
extensions may be required to allow proper mounting of the shredder/chipper to the tractor.
• The P.T.O. drive shaft provided with this machine is sized to fit a standard category 1 P.T.O. (1 3/8” x 6 spline).
• The P.T.O. shaft on the tractor that is to use this shredder/chipper must rotate clockwise when viewing the
P.T.O. from the rear of the tractor. If the P.T.O. rotates counterclockwise, you must have your tractor modified by
installing a gear box to reverse the direction of rotation.
• Depending on the mounting dimensions of the tractor, it may be necessary to have your dealer or yourself modify
the length of the P.T.O. drive shaft that is included with this shredder/chipper. Instructions follow for this
procedure.
• This machine is designed to operate at 540 RPM only. Do not operate at a faster speed that may cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders and could cause damage to the machine that will not be covered under
warranty.
P.T.O. DRIVE SHAFT MODIFICATION
The P.T.O. drive shaft included with this shredder/chipper may be too long for your tractor. To shorten the driveshaft
proceed as follows.
• Remove the guard.
• Cut the shaft tubes to the required length.
