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.
