Driveline Installation
Refer to Figure 1-10:
DANGER
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
The driveline must be connected to the implement’s input
shaft first and then to the tractor’s power take-off shaft. This
helps to prevent the possibility of lethal “whiplash” in the
event that the tractor's power take-off is unexpectedly
activated.
•
The driveline's constant velocity joint must be facing the
tractor's power take-off shaft.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Always shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook up or unhook the implement.
•
Read the manual supplied with the driveline carefully. Do
not use any driveline other than the one supplied with this
implement.
h
The dealer will adjust the driveline accordingly for the
tractor.

1. Remove and discard the driveline safety chains (not

2. Locate driveline coupler end with the inner shield.
3. Carefully clean and lubricate driveline coupling (B)
