FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PER
-
SONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Adjust the drawbar at 16-20” above the ground. Extend
or shorten the drawbar so horizontal distance from end
of tractor PTO shaft to center of hitch pin hole is 16” for
1000 RPM 1-3/8-21 spline, 20” for 1000 RPM 1-3/4-20
spline. Secure the drawbar so the hitch pin hole is lo
-
cated directly below the PTO driveline. PTO adapters
are not recommended as damage to the driveline may
occur. A hitch pin with a minimum diameter of 1-5/16”
and bottom retaining pin is recommended.
AN IMPROPERLY LOCATED HITCH POINT MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS
OF THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT. CONFORMING TO
THE DRAWBAR AND PTO RELATIONSHIP
SHOWN ON FIGURE 1, PAGE 8 WILL ENSURE
THAT THE PTO DRIVESHAFT WILL NOT
BECOME OVER EXTENDED. USE THE
CORRECT SETTING FOR 14” - 540RPM 1 3/8-6,
16” - 1000RPM 1 3/8-21 OR 20” - 1000RPM 1
3/4-20. WITH INITIAL HOOK-UP TO YOUR NEW

LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION
A high quality Lithium Base Grease should be used
PRIOR TO USE
Using the CV Zerk (Key #2) place 20 pumps of
grease into the CV center housing. This should
be done with the driveline / CV as straight as
possible.
Slowly articulate the double joint through its
maximum joint angle several times.
Return the CV joint to its straight position and
insert additional grease into the CV Zerk (Key
#2) until grease is evident around the housing
and center sliding disk.
NORMAL OPERATION
Lubricate the following items after every eight
(8) hours of operation. If short rows and
frequent turning or other demanding conditions
exist, lubricate at four (4) hour intervals.
Cross and bearings (Key #1)-Add grease
until it is purged around the seals
CV center housing (Key #2)-Add grease
until it is evident around the center sliding
disk.
Telescoping members (Key #3)-Add
grease until it adequately covers the
sliding members. Take apart
occasionally to make sure adequate
lubrication is being added.
Shield bearings (Key #4)-Add 2-3 pumps.
FAILURE TO FREQUENTLY GREASE THE CV
CENTER HOUSING AND TELESCOPING MEMBERS
WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE CV.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
It is extremely important to follow the maintenance
guidelines. If telescoping members become hard to
slide during normal operation, it is recommended the
shaft be taken apart, cleaned with solvent and recoated
with grease before re-assembling. As a minimum it is
important this be done after each season of use.
