If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other half to the
implement.
2. Raise and lower the implement with the 3 point hitch to find the position where the driveline is
shortest. Hold the half shafts side by side and mark the desired length on the outer female tube
guard leaving a 1 ½” gap between the end of the guard tube and bell guard.
3. Cut off both guard tubes the same amount as marked in step 2.
4. Shorten both drive tubes the same amount as guard tubes.
5. De-burr and clean filings from drive tubes and apply grease to outside of inner telescoping tube.
6. Reassemble the driveline halves and connect to tractor and implement. Raise and lower
implement again to be sure driveline does not bottom out in its shortest position and has a
minimum overlap of 6” in the longest position.
7. Install both driveline safety chains. One should be hooked in a hole on the outer driveline yoke
shield and to the tractor to restrict outer shield rotation. The second one should be hooked in a
hole on the inner driveline yoke shield and to the implement to restrict inner shield rotation.
If determined that the driveline is too short for your tractor, contact your local dealer.
CAUTION: Always work with the driveline as straight as possible. This will prolong its life and
that of its components. It is advised not to work at an angle greater than 15 degrees.
4.04 - Transport
CAUTION: Do not tow tractor and spreader behind other vehicles. Use a properly equipped
trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when traveling on
roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the spreader does not strike obstacles
such as trees, fences or buildings.
4. Always disengage PTO before raising spreader to transport position.
