Driveline Hanger Adjustment
1.
Move tractor control lever to extend hydraulic lift
cylinder (#1) until pressure against stroke control
spacers (#5) is removed.
2. Without relieving hydraulic pressure, shut tractor
down properly before dismounting. Refer to
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Stay clear from underneath the cutter and directly behind
transport tires. The cutter could fall suddenly causing the
decks to lower and tires to roll back.
3. Remove stroke control spacers (#2) from hydraulic lift
cylinder (#1) by spreading them apart at break line.
4. Start tractor and lower cutter until front skids are
resting on the ground or on solid (non-concrete)
support blocks.
5. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
6. Replace stroke control spacers (#2) as needed to
support wheels at this position.
7.
With driveline attached to tractor, rotate driveline
hanger (#1) up as shown.
8. Loosen nuts securing carriage bolts (#3) and adjust
driveline hanger (#1) up until there is a small gap
between driveline (#4) and hanger (#1).
9. If driveline hanger (#1) is adjusted fully up and needs
to adjust higher, remove carriage bolts (#3) and
reattach hanger to the upper two square holes (#2)
with existing flat washers, lock washers, hex nuts,
and carriage bolts (#3). Continue to adjust hanger to
underside of driveline.
10. Draw nuts securing carriage bolts (#3) up snug and
rotate driveline hanger (#1) down. If hanger makes
contact with driveline (#4), re-adjust hanger down
until it misses the driveline.
11. Tighten 3/8"-16 GR5 bolts (#3) to the correct torque.
12. Rotate driveline hanger (#1) down.
IMPORTANT:
Always rotate driveline hanger down
before moving cutter to prevent damage to driveline.
