key (item 1) on the reduction box shaft
(item 2) then connect the driveline male
half (item 3) to the reduction box shaft

WARNING:
This shaft turns at very
high RPM. If the collar is not locked to the
shaft at tractor end, or if the yoke at the
blower end is not secured properly, the
driveline can fly loose with great force
capable of causing serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
In order to ensure that the
driveline or other parts are not damaged,
DO NOT WORK with the driveline placed on
its support (see figure 20a).
