Measure the distance between the ends of the two
shafts (Dimension “A”, Figure 1). Each half of the PTO
should be equal to dimension “A” minus two (2) inches.
If the driveline must be cut to a shorter length, clamp
driveline in a well-padded vise to prevent damage to the
shield (Figure 3). Cut the plastic shields 1 ½” shorter
than the shafts
.
Repeat the procedure to the other driveline half.
Remove all burrs and cuttings.
Apply multi-purpose grease to inside of outer
(female) driveline section. Assemble driveline and
install on tractor and spreader. Pull on each driveline
section to be sure yokes lock into place. Make certain
driveline shielding is in place and in good condition.
NOTE: A PTO driveline that is too long and
“bottoms out” could possibly cause severe damage
to the gearbox. It is VERY IMPORTANT to check the
proper PTO driveline length for your tractor.
Gearboxes damaged by incorrect PTO driveline
length are NOT covered by warranty.
NOTE: The use of a PTO shaft adapter or extension
could require that the PTO driveline be shortened a
considerable amount. If this is done, the driveline
halves may separate when the spreader is lowered
to the ground.
Do not operate this equipment without shields
properly installed. This is for your protection, and
the manufacturer recommends the use of these
shields at all times.
When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is
important that spring-activated locking pin slides
freely and is seated in groove on PTO shaft. A
loose shaft could slip off and result in personal
injury or damage to equipment
.
If your tractor has extra long lift arms, it may be
necessary to use a PTO extension so that you can use
the PTO shaft assembly provided. Be sure the PTO
assembly does not close too far (bottom out) if you use
a PTO extension.
Never raise or lower the seeder/spreader so that
the PTO shaft assembly will come apart.
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a
tractor. Make sure the front of the tractor is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always
drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable
tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over,
causing injury or death.
Fertilizers will vary as to weight and quality, which
may require additional adjustment by moving he
individual fan blades. Moving the blade tips forward will
carry more material to the left side. Moving the fan
blade tips back will allow more material to be spread to
the right.
Make small adjustment moves and check spread
after each adjustment.
NOTE:
The gearbox is filled with lubricant and sealed
at the factory. If operated and stored properly, the
gearbox will provide a long, trouble-free service life. If
disassembly of the gearbox should ever be required, it
is important that the box be re-filled with a good quality
grease and that the box halves are resealed with a
silicone adhesive.
