SAFETY CHAIN

As required or when desired, the 

Top Shot

 should be equipped with a safety chain for transporting the  

unit on a public highway. Refer to the Transport Chapter for details.

-25-

 

HITCHJACK

A jack is furnished with the 

Top Shot

 to support the machine when the 

tractor is disconnected and to adjust the hitch clevis to the tractor drawbar 

for hookup. The jack should never be used to support a loaded 

Top Shot.

 

TELESCOPING PTO DRIVE

T

he telescoping PTO drive is designed to rotate freely inside the drive shield tubes.

OPERATION

When the jack is not being 

used to support the 

Top Shot

it should be relocated to the 

“storage” position located on 

the left side of the 

Top Shot

 

as shown.

The telescoping PTO drive is provided with a spring-loaded 

locking collar on one end to positively lock the drive connection 

onto the tractor PTO shaft. Depress the locking collar, against 

the spring tension, and slide the yoke onto tractor PTO shaft. 

Release the locking collar and move the yoke ahead or back 

until the lock engages into the groove on the shaft.

NOTE:

 

When the spreader is not attached to the tractor, 

the PTO Drive can be conveniently supported by the chain  

provided as shown. This position is used only when the Top 

Shot is NOT in operation. Never transport the Top Shot with 

the PTO in this position.
