ATTACHING TO TRACTOR continued....
STEP 4
Pull apart PTO shaft and attach outer section to tractor PTO output shaft.
NOTE: Be sure to pull on PTO shaft section to ensure yoke has locked into
place.
STEP 5
Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if PTO
shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches short of
reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too long measure
3 inches back from each u-joint shield and mark the other shaft section. Be sure
to do this for both PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft sections at
this time.
STEP 6
Raise rotary tiller and remove blocking. Raise and lower rotary tiller in order to
locate the longest distance between equipment input shaft and the tractor PTO
output shaft. With the rotary tiller in the longest distance position shut down the
tractor and SECURELY BLOCK THE ROTARY TILLER IN POSITION.
STEP 7
As in step 5 hold PTO shaft sections together and check for a minimum of 6
inches of overlap. If PTO shaft has been marked for cutting the overlap is the
distance measured between the two marks. If the PTO shaft has less than a 6
inch overlap, DO NOT USE. Contact your authorized King Kutter Dealer.
NOTE
If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (pg. 18)
STEP 8
Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO shaft
section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on rotary tiller and tractor.
STEP 9
Pull on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place. Make
certain PTO shaft shielding is in place and good working condition.
STEP 10
The PTO shaft shield is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior to
equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke shield attach to a fixed object on
the tractor and equipment ends that will not allow the PTO shaft shield to rotate
during operation.
