Operation Section 4-15

SR10M/SR15M 10-01
When fitting the mower to the tractor, the telescoping driveline must be inspected to ensure that at its most
compressed position, the profiles do not “bottom out”, and when at its farthest extended position, there is
sufficient engagement between the profiles to operate safely. At its shortest length, there must be at least
a 1” clearance between each profile end and opposite profile universal joint. At its farthest operating
extension, a minimum profile engagement of 12” must be maintained for a Constant Velocity (CV) tube
type driveline and a minimum engagement of 6” for non-CV solid shaft drivelines.
7.1 Driveline Length Check
Before operating the Mower, check to make sure the driveline will not bottom out or become
disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing
until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious
damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support
bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off.
WARNING!
44R EQUAL ANGLE DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust drawbar length per operating speed of mower. When connecting drive always check driveline yoke
phasing. The end yokes on jackshaft and maindrive should all be in line. Adjust height of jackshaft support
bearing up or down so that entire drive is in a straight line from tractor to implement.
