10. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yokes, gearbox drive shafts, and
tractor PTO shaft must be dirt free and greased for
attachment.
To connect the rear driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft, twist driveline yoke collar and align the
grooves and splines of the yoke with those of the
PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke onto the PTO
shaft, release the locking collar, and position the
yoke until the locking collar balls are seated onto
the PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and
forth several times to ensure a secure attachment.
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the
connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth
several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the
Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the
Implement.
(S3PT-17)
Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not
bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates
the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out
can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and
through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken
driveline can cause personal injury.
