“Bottoming Out” Check Procedure
•
Disconnect driveline from the tractor and slide
the profiles together until fully compressed.
•
Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8” from the
end of the outer shield and reattach the drive-
line to the PTO shaft.
•
With the
PTO NOT TURNING
, slowly drive the
tractor with mower attached through the sharp-
est turn possible and watch shaft movement.
With the
PTO NOT TURNING
, slowly drive the
tractor with the mower attached through the
most severe terrain conditions expected and
watch shaft movement.
•
If the distance between the mark and the outer
shield becomes less than 2” at any point there
is a potential problem bottoming out the drive-
line and the driveline should be replaced with shorter driveline. Contact your local dealer or Technical Ser-
vice for proper directions.

Engagement Check Procedure
•
With the driveline attached, position the mower to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its maxi-
mum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.
•
Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.
•
Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.
•
Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. This length is the amount the driveline
profiles were engaged.
•
If the engaged length is less than 6”, the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer
shaft. Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.
NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator
must be made aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid
damaging the driveline or move drawbar to 16” or 20” position for required clearance. OPS-R-0005_O
