Driveline Hook-up to Tractor PTO
Refer to Figure 1-19:
1. If needed, collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor
end of driveline against splitter gearbox.
2. Pull back on yoke locking collar (#6) and slide yoke
over tractor PTO shaft.
3. Release locking collar (#6) and continue to push
outer yoke onto tractor PTO shaft until locking collar
snaps in place.
4. Both yoke ends of driveline (#5) should be moved
back and forth to ensure they are secured. Reattach
yoke end if it is loose.
5. Rotate driveline hanger (#1) down.
6. If attached, remove park jack (#3) and store on
weight box. See steps 13 & 14 on page 16.
Adjust Driveline Hanger
Refer to Figure 1-18:
1. Move tractor control lever to extend hydraulic lift
cylinder (#1) until pressure against stroke control
spacers (#4) is removed.
2. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 14.
3. Remove all stroke control spacers (#4) from center
hydraulic lift cylinder (#1) by spreading them apart at
the break line.
4. Start tractor and lower cutter until front skids are
resting on the ground or on support blocks.
5. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
6. Replace stroke control spacers (#4) as needed to
support wheels at this position.
Refer to Figure 1-19:
7. With driveline attached to tractor, rotate driveline
hanger (#1) up as shown.
8. Loosen nuts securing carriage bolts (#4) and adjust
driveline hanger (#1) up until there is a small gap
between driveline (#5) and hanger (#1).
9. If driveline hanger (#1) is adjusted fully up and needs
to adjust higher, remove carriage bolts (#4) and
reattach hanger to the upper two square holes (#2)
with existing flat washers, lock washers, hex nuts,
and carriage bolts (#4). Continue to adjust hanger to
underside of driveline.
10. Draw nuts securing carriage bolts (#4) up snug and
rotate driveline hanger (#1) down. If hanger makes
contact with driveline (#5), readjust hanger down
until it misses the driveline.
11. Tighten 3/8"-16 GR5 bolts (#4) to the correct torque.
IMPORTANT: Always rotate driveline hanger down
after hook-up to prevent driveline damage.
12. Rotate driveline hanger (#1) down.
Driveline Clearance Check
Check driveline for adequate clearance under all ranges
of cutter height.
1. With driveline shaft attached to the tractor and all
stroke control spacers (#4 in Figure 1-18) removed
from hydraulic cylinder (#1), slowly raise and lower
cutter to its upper and lower limits while observing
clearances between hitch and driveline.
2. Adjust tractor drawbar height and/or length if
driveline interferes. See “Drawbar Set-up” on page
12 for correct drawbar dimensions.
3. Cycle cylinders back and forth several times to purge
cylinders and hydraulic lines of air. For additional
details, see “Purge Hydraulic System” on page 22.
