Operation 17
MAN0943 (07/12/2011)
7. Use an abrasive wheel power saw to cut the male
end of the shaft. Cut the same amount from both
the splined shaft and the safety shield. See Figure
4. Use a file to remove any burrs from the cut end.
NOTICE
■ Cut only the male end. Never cut the female end.
8. Never cut more than 9 inches from the male end.
Cutting 1 inch from the male end shortens both the
minimum and maximum lengths by 1 inch.

ATTACHING SHREDDER TO TRACTOR
1. Place unit on a level, dry area free of debris and
other foreign object.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.
2. Clear the area of bystanders, especially children.
3. Provide enough clearance to back the tractor
safely into the unit.
■ Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor
and unit when backing up to the unit.
With Quick Hitch Attachment:
4. Set the height of the 3-point hitch so that quick
hitch claws are lower than the mounting pins.
5. Make sure 3-point hitch is set in the non-sway
position. See tractor manual for details.
6. Align the claws under the lower and upper mast
mounting pins while backing up.
NOTE: For a Category II hitch, use the bottom
upper mast hole. For a Category III hitch, use the
top upper mast hole.
7. When the claws are under the pins, slowly raise
the 3-point hitch. Make sure each mounting pin
seats in its respective claw.
8. Release the claw retainer locks to secure the
mounting pins in the claws.
9. Check the top link frame. It should be free to slide
in its mounting slots. This movement allows the
unit to follow the ground contour when cresting a
hill or going through a depression.
