Set-up Instructions
PTO Shield
Remove PTO shield (1) by removing two bolts and
washers (2). Reinsert hardware back into holes to secure
driveline shield.
Remove two bolts and washers (3). Remove hydraulic
hose guide (4).
Rotate shield into new position as outlined above. Return
hydraulic hose guide back into its original position on top
of shield and secure with the bolts and washers.
PTO Set-up
When connecting the PTO to both the draper windrower
and tractor, it is the owner’s/operator’s responsibility to
insure that the PTO length is correct and will not bottom
out or become disengaged.
The PTO provided with each Loftness draper windrower
will work on most tractors without modification.
Variations in the PTO and hitch geometry on some tractors
may make it necessary to adjust the length of the PTO.
Check PTO length (6" overlap min.). Lubricate CV before
initial start-up and before connecting to tractor to allow
movement of tractor yoke in all directions to help distribute
grease through out the moving parts. Lubricate after
every 8 hours of use. Tighten PTO clamp bolts (torque to
150 ft. lbs.), then recheck after 10 minutes of operation
and again after 1 hour of operation.
PTO Sizing
The following diagrams assist in sizing the PTO as
outlined in “PTO Set-up” on page 15.
