Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 1-10:
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of profile tubes by not
less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
1.
Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2.
Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/2 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown. Once
assembled, measure and record maximum allowable
length here. ________

Check Driveline Interference
Refer to Figure 1-11:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
1.
Lubricate driveline If it has not be lubricated. Refer to
on page 42.
2.
Attach driveline to the implement or tractor if it is not
attached. See
and
3.
Start tractor and raise implement slightly off the
support blocks. Drive forward until the implement is
clear of the support blocks.
4.
Slowly and carefully lower and raise cutter to ensure
drawbar, tires, and other tractor equipment do not
contact the cutter frame. If there is an interference:
a. Back cutter over the support blocks and lower it
onto the blocks.
b. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
c. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the
cutter and make any other necessary corrections.
d. Repeat steps 1-4 to verify the cutter does not
interfere with the tractor.
5.
Start tractor and raise implement fully up.
If implement is not above the support blocks, back
implement over the support blocks. Do not lower
implement onto the support blocks.
6.
Without changing the 3-point lift height, shut tractor
down using
.
7.
Check to make sure the driveline angle does not
exceed 25 degrees above horizontal as shown in
Figure 1-11.

8.
If driveline angle exceeds 25 degrees above
horizontal or if length recorded in step 2 under
“Check Driveline Maximum Length”
is exceeded,
adjust 3-point lift height as follows:
a. Adjust tractor 3-point lift limiter height to keep the
driveline within the recommended 25 degree
angle and maximum allowable length.
b. If the 3-point left lever does not have a lift height
limiter, make a mark with tape or other means to
indicate maximum lift height.
9.
Start tractor, raise implement slightly, and drive
forward enough to clear the support blocks.
10. Lower implement to ground and shut tractor down
