Driveline Hook-up
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and
implement input shaft shield must be installed and in good
working condition to avoid driveline entanglement and
projectiles flying off of the driveline.
•
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
•
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before
servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the
drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain
if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Be certain your tractor’s power take-off shaft is set-up to
operate at 540 rpm. Do not exceed 540 rpm power take-off
speed or equipment breakage may result.
•
Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
Check driveline when lowering implement to make sure it
does not interfere with the tractor drawbar at maximum
depth. If needed, shut tractor off and move or remove
drawbar to prevent driveline damage.
IMPORTANT:
The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to
IMPORTANT:
An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT:
Skid extensions can be adjusted to
make driveline work with various PTO heights and
not interfere with chipper upper frame or Quick

driveline toward the implement’s input shaft.
Refer to Figure 1-4 on page 18:
6. Pull back on driveline pull collar (#5) and push yoke
onto the tractor power take-off shaft. Release pull
collar and continue to push driveline yoke forward
until pull collar pops out and locks in place.

Pull on driveline yokes at the tractor and implement
end to make sure they are secured to the tractor
power take-off shaft and implement’s gearbox shaft.
