Driveline Installation & Hook-up
Figure 1-7
Driveline Installation (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-7:
1. Remove shaft protector (#3) from speed increaser
shaft and discard.
2. Pull back on inner yoke locking collar (#1A) and slide
inner yoke of driveline (#2) over implement input
shaft.
3. Release locking collar (#1A) and continue to push
inner yoke onto input shaft until locking collar snaps
in place.
Driveline Hook-up (Optional)
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and
gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working
condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles
flying off of the driveline.
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
•
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and
bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.

IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to “Lubrication
Points” on page 44.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
Check driveline when lowering implement to make sure it
does not interfere with the tractor drawbar at maximum
depth. If needed, shut tractor off and move or remove
drawbar to prevent driveline damage.
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Be certain your tractor’s power take-off is set at the
implement’s rated power take-off speed or equipment
breakage may result. DB Series are rated for 540 rpm and
DBM Series are rated for 1000 rpm.
Refer to Figure 1-7:
1. If driveline collapsible length has not been checked,
go to
“Check Driveline Collapsible Length” on
page 21. Otherwise, continue with step 2 below.
2. Park tractor and implement on a level surface.
3. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shut Down Procedure” on page 35.
4. If tractor drawbar interferes with driveline during
hook-up, disconnect driveline and move drawbar
forward, to the side, or remove.
5. Collapse driveline (#2) by pushing tractor end of
driveline against the implement’s input shaft.
6. Pull back on driveline pull collar (#1B) and push yoke
onto the tractor power take-off shaft. Release pull
collar and continue to push driveline yoke forward
until pull collar pops out and locks in place.
7. Pull on driveline yokes at the tractor and implement to
make sure they are secured to the tractor power take-
off shaft and implement input shaft.
8. Continue with “Check Driveline Interference” on
page 22.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: Check driveline minimum collapsible
length before completing “Driveline Hook-up” .
Structural damage to the tractor and implement can
occur if this check is not made. Refer to
“Check
Driveline Collapsible Length” on page 21.
IMPORTANT: Do not engage tractor power take-off
until driveline is fully connected and hydraulic fluid
has been added to the cutter reservoir.
