WARNING
An improperly attached chipper could become dislodged during transportation
or operation, which could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do not drive the tractor or operate the chipper until you are sure the chipper is
properly attached and hitch pins are fully engaged.
Attach PTO
driveline shaft
Connect the PTO driveline shaft to the tractor:
1.
Align the tractor and chipper to minimize the driveline angle in both the
horizontal and vertical planes; it should be as near to a direct line in all
directions as possible. The angle should never exceed 25
°
in any direction.
Note: Proper alignment will increase the life of the power takeoff shaft,
reduce wear on the bearings of the PTO and chipper, and reduce
vibration.
2.
Ensure that the tractor PTO is disengaged and the tractor is turned OFF.
3.
One half of the PTO driveline is already attached to the chipper's input
shaft.
4.
Slide the other half of the PTO driveline into the half connected to the
chipper.
5.
Connect the other end to the tractor PTO stub. Pull back on collar and slide
coupler onto 6-tooth spline PTO stub. Push collar forward to lock onto
PTO stub. Pull on driveline to ensure proper connection.
