DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
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.
1. Remove rubber protective sleeve (#4) from gearbox
input shaft and discard.
2. Unsnap one end of gearbox shield access doors (#6)
and rotate doors open.
3. Remove existing conical dog pin or bolts (#1), flat
washer(s) (#3), and nut(s) (#2) from slip-clutch end
of driveline (#5).
4. Slide slip-clutch end of driveline (#5) onto gearbox
input shaft. Make certain that the slip-clutch is fully
onto the shaft splines.
5. Attach slip-clutch end of driveline to gearbox input
shaft with removed conical dog pin or bolts (#1), flat
washer(s) (#3), and nut(s) (#2). Tighten conical dog
pin or bolts (#1) to 45-50 ft-lb torque.
6. Push/pull on driveline yoke to ensure it is securely
fastened to the gearbox shaft.
7. Rotate gearbox shield access doors (#6) closed and
snap in place.
