WARNING
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor or gangrene may result.
Driveline Installation
1.
Slide the driveline over the splined shaft at the front
of the Powered Rake and secure with the locking
device of driveline.
2.
Slide the driveline over the tractor’s splined PTO
shaft and secure with the locking device of driveline.
3.
Hook the safety chain on the driveline Powered Rake
end around a tube on the front of the Powered Rake
to prevent the shield from rotating.
4.
The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
insure that it is secure on the PTO shaft of the tractor
and Powered Rake drive shaft.
5.
Should the driveline require shortening:
a.
Hold the half-shafts next to each other in the
shortest working position and mark them.
b.
Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally.
c.
Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the
same length as the guard tubes.
d.
Proper overlap is a minimum of one-half the
length of each tube, with both tubes being of equal
length.
e.
Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs.
Grease sliding profiles.
Prior to initial operation and after long periods of
inactivity, the Friction Clutch should be “run-in”. Refer to
Figure 1-2.
1.
Tighten all 4 nuts uniformly until the spring load is low
enough that the clutch slips freely with the PTO
engaged.
2.
Turn nuts fully back. Clutch is ready for use.
