Equal Angle Driveline
The following instructions are for installation of an
“Equal Angle Driveline”. Instructions for “Constant
Velocity Driveline” begin on page 25.
!
WARNING
Make certain all driveline yokes are securely fastened at both
ends. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing machine damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.
!
WARNING
Do not use a PTO adapter. A PTO adapter will increase strain
on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the
tractor’s master shield and could cause bodily injury or death.
