Driveline Hook-up
Refer to Figure 1-15:\
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
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.
•
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
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. RC models
are rated for 540 rpm and RCM models are rated for 1000
rpm.
1. If needed, collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor
end of driveline against splitter gearbox.
2. Pull back on yoke locking collar (#10) and slide yoke
over tractor power take-off shaft. (tractor power take-
off shaft shown in Figure 1-12 on page 18.)
3. Release locking collar (#10) and continue to push
outer yoke onto tractor power take-off shaft until
locking collar snaps in place.
4. Driveline (#5) should be moved back and forth to
ensure both ends are secured. Reattach loose ends.
5. If main driveline is constant velocity with overrunning
clutch, attach safety chain on the inner shield to the
cutter and safety chain on the outer shield to the
tractor. Check safety chains to make sure they are
attached to the inner and outer driveline shields.
IMPORTANT: The shields on the constant velocity
driveline with overrunning clutch must not rotate.
6. If attached to cutter hitch, remove park jack (#3) and
stored on weight box. For detailed instructions, refer
to steps 10-11 on page 19.
Hydraulic Hook-up

Hydraulic Hook-up
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. 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 leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
may result. DO NOT DELAY.
Refer to Figure 1-15:
1. Route wing folding cylinder hose (#6) through hose
support loops 19and connect to a remote outlet with
float option if available.
2. Route rephasing lift cylinder hose (#7) through hose
support loops (#11) and connect to a tractor duplex
outlet.
3. Secure hydraulic hoses together with zip ties (#13)
as needed to keep hoses from pinch areas caused by
raising and lowering the deck, folding the wings, and
making turns with the tractor.
