FX-107 07-19

Assembly Section 3-6

ASSEMBL

Driveline Shield Chains

Attach CV shield chain to tractor or cutter hitch
allowing sufficient slack for turning.

IMPORTANT:

OSHA, ASABE, and SAE standards

require that all rotating shafts be guarded against
contact. The unchained plastic shields can rotate
with the driveline but must stop when they contact
another object.

NOTE:

Driveline shields may also be chained to the

gearbox cone using the supplied chains.

The shields

must

be regularly greased and

checked that they rotate freely on the driveline.
Refer to the Lubrication section for greasing
intervals.

Laminated Tires

To reduce the possibility of the laminations
separating, the laminated tires should be installed
with the laminations oriented as shown below.
