7.1 Driveline Length Check
When fitting the hay tedder to the tractor, the driveline must be inspected to ensure that it is connected
correctly both at the tractor end and at the implements end. If a safety system is provided, this should be fitted
to the machine end, not to the tractor end.
During both transport and use, avoid conditions
where the Driveline transmission shaft is extended
to the maximum. In all working conditions, the
telescopic tubes must overlap by at least 1/3 of their
length refer to

.
Conversely, when the driveline shaft is contracted
to the maximum, there should still be a gap of
approximately 2” (50 mm) refer to
Image OP-225
Take particular care when connecting the two
Driveline shaft end forks and make sure that they
are fully secured. This is achieved by inserting the
safety pins and bolts (1) in the special slots (2) on
the power takeoff shafts on both the tractor and
implement ends. Refer To
