OPERATION
Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:
• Remove the driveline from the tractor.
• Position the mower (Lift Type - Raise and
lower/ Pull Type - Turn sharply) 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.
• 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 mower 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: When raising the mower, at least 1” clearnace must be maintained between the driveline and the
mower deck. If necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point hitch control lever to limit the height the
mower can be raised.
OPS-R-0005_C
8. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped
and functional, and performing needed repairs. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection
reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing
parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time
and repair cost can be avoided. OPS-U-0029
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on the
Implement. Never work on the Implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and running.
Rotating Parts, Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate
entanglement, injury or death.
