14. Remove park stand from its mounting tube. Turn park
stand upside down and reinsert it several inches
through the top of the mounting tube. Secure park
stand using one of the upper three holes with existing
wire retaining pin.
15. Start tractor and raise tiller fully up. Measure vertical
distance from center of 3-point hitch pins (#2) to
ground. If distance exceeds 30
"
, adjust tractor’s
3-point lift height limiter to set maximum hitch pin lift
height at 30".
Driveline Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 1-6 on page 10:
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
• All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
•
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
• Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel
at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with
attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.
• Check driveline when lowering tiller into the ground to
make sure it does not interfere with the tractor drawbar at
maximum depth. If needed, shut tractor off and move or
remove drawbar to prevent damage to the driveline.
• A rotating driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees
up or down, and never engage a driveline while at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down. The driveline can break
and send projectiles.
IMPORTANT: Check driveline collapsible and
maximum length before completing “Driveline
Hook-Up” instructions. Structural damage to the
tractor and implement can occur if these checks are
not made. Refer to
“Check Driveline Collapsible
Length” on page 12 and “Check Driveline
Maximum Length” on page 13.
The driveline (#3) fastens to the tractor power take-off
shaft with a push-pin coupler or pull collar (#9).
1. If driveline collapsible length has not been checked,
go to
“Check Driveline Collapsible Length” on
page 12. Otherwise, continue with step 2 below.
2. Park tractor and implement on a level surface.
3. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 7.
4. If tractor drawbar interferes with the driveline during
hook-up, disconnect driveline and move drawbar
forward, to the side, or remove.
5. Collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor end of
driveline toward the tiller gearbox.
6. Attach driveline (#3) to the tractor’s power take-off
shaft as follows:
Push Pin Driveline Yoke
a. Push in on driveline yoke pin (#9) and push yoke
onto the tractor power take-off shaft.
b. Release push pin and continue to push driveline
yoke forward until push pin pops out and yoke
collar locks in place.
Pull Collar Driveline Yoke
a. Pull back on driveline pull collar (#9) and push
yoke onto the tractor power take-off shaft.
b. Release pull collar and continue to push driveline
yoke forward until pull collar pops out and locks in
place.
7. Pull on driveline yoke at the tractor to make sure it is
secured to the tractor power take-off shaft.
8. Continue with “Check Driveline Interference” on
page 13.
IMPORTANT: Drivelines with friction clutches must
go through a “run-in” prior to initial use and after long
periods of inactivity. For detailed instructions, see
“Driveline Protection” on page 21.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: The power take-off shaft and gearbox
input shaft must be aligned and level with each other
when checking driveline minimum length. A driveline
that is too long can damage tractor and implement.
IMPORTANT: The drivelines must be lubricated
before putting them into service. Refer to
“Lubrication Points” on page 25.
