Check Driveline Interference
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A rotating driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up
or down, and never engage a driveline while at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down. The driveline can break and
send projectiles.
1. Start tractor and raise implement slightly off the
support blocks used to “Check Driveline
Collapsible Length”
. Drive forward until the
implement is clear of the support blocks.
2. Slowly and carefully lower and raise the flail mower to
ensure drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the
tractor do not come in contact with the mower.
3. Refer to Figure 1-21: Slowly and carefully fully
extend lateral cylinder (C) and then extend and
retract incline cylinder (D) to ensure driveline (A)
does not interfere with lateral joint (B).
4. If there is an interference in step 2 or 3:
a. Back the flail head over the support blocks and
lower it onto the blocks.
b. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 12.
c. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the
flail mower and make any other necessary
corrections.
d. Refer to Figure 1-21: If driveline (A) interferes with
lateral joint (B), refer to
“Avoid Driveline Contact
With Mower” on page 39.
e. Repeat steps 1-4 to verify there are no more
interferences.
5. Start tractor, raise implement fully up. Without
changing the 3-point lift height, shut tractor down
using
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 12.
6. Check to make sure driveline does not exceed
maximum length recorded in step 4 under
“Measure
Driveline Maximum Length” on page 27.
7. If driveline exceeds maximum allowable length:
a. Adjust tractor 3-point lift limiter to the height that
will keep the driveline within the recommended
limits.
b. If the 3-point left lever does not have a lift height
limiter, make a mark with tape or other means to
indicate maximum lift height.
8. Start tractor, raise implement slightly, and drive
forward enough to clear the support blocks.
9. Lower implement to ground and shut tractor down
using
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 12.
