Driveline Maximum Extended Length
Figure 1-5
Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 1-5:
Driveline maximum length must, when fully extended,
have a minimum overlap of profile tubes by not less than
1/2 the free length with both inner and outer profile tubes
being of equal length.
1. Ensure
“Check Driveline Collapsible Length” on
page 15 has been completed before continuing with
instructions below.
2. Disconnect driveline profiles from the tractor and
implement.
3. If profiles are assembled together, pull outer and
inner driveline profiles apart.
4. Measure and record “Free Length” of inner and outer
profiles as shown in Figure 1-5.
5. Lubricate driveline u-joints, bearings, and profiles.
Refer to “Lubrication Points” on page 28.
6. Assemble driveline halves together until profile tubes
have exactly 1/2 profile overlap as shown.
7. Measure driveline “Maximum Allowable Length” and
record that length here ______.
8. Connect assembled driveline to tractor’s power
take-off shaft and implement’s gearbox input shaft.
See
“Connect Driveline to Gearbox”
on page 12
and “Connect Driveline to Tractor” on page 14.
9. Continue with
“Check Driveline Interference”

Check Driveline Interference
Refer to Figure 1-6:
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 flying projectiles.
1. Start tractor, raise implement slightly, and drive
forward enough to clear support blocks.
2. Slowly and carefully lower and raise the implement to
ensure drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the
tractor do not contact the implement.
If there is an interference:
a. Back implement over the support blocks and
lower it onto the blocks.
b. Shut down tractor before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 11.
c. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the
implement.
d. Make any other necessary corrections.
e. Repeat steps 1-2 to verify corrections have been
made.
3. Start tractor, raise implement fully up. Back
implement over the support blocks. Do not lower
implement onto the support blocks.
4. Without changing the 3-point lift height, shut tractor
down using
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on
page 11.
5. Check to ensure driveline does not exceed any of the
limits listed below:
•
Driveline does not exceed maximum length
recorded in step 7 under
“Check Driveline
Maximum Length”
on this page.
•
Driveline angle does not exceed 25
o
above
horizontal.
6. If driveline exceeds maximum allowable length or
25
o
above horizontal:
a. Adjust tractor 3-point lift limiter to a height that will
keep the driveline within the recommended limits.
b. If the 3-point lift lever does not have a lift height
limiter, make a mark with tape or other means to
indicate maximum lift height.
7. Start tractor and drive forward enough to clear the
support blocks.
8. Lower implement to the ground and shut tractor down
using
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 11.
