MEASUREMENT PROBLEM SOLUTION
If (A) is less than 14”
• (C) will be less than
the recommended
41”
• The PTO driveline will bottom out
when auger is in raised position.
• This will cause damage to the
PTO driveline, the bearing, or
the boot housing.
• Pull out or lengthen the trac-
tor drawbar as needed to
make (C) 41” when the auger
is in full down position.
If (A) is more than 14”
• (C) may be more
than the recom-
mended 41”
• The PTO driveline will separate
from the auger in the lowered
position.
• This will cause damage to
equipment and/or injury to
personnel.
• Shorten distance (C) to the
recommended 41” by attach-
ing hitch to tractor drawbar at
a point closer to the tractor
PTO shaft.
If (B) is more than 10”
• (C) (between tractor
PTO shaft and
auger input shaft)
shortens more
quickly when auger
is being raised
• The u-joint angle on the PTO
driveline will be too severe in the
raised position.
• The PTO driveline will bottom out
before auger is fully raised.
• This will cause damage to the
PTO driveline, flight shaft,
bearing, and boot.
• Raise the tractor drawbar
until dimension (B) is within
the recommended 8” to 10”.
