Final Inspection and Adjustments
IMPORTANT:
PTO driveline may be too long for some tractor models, causing tractor transaxle damage. Modify
driveline if necessary.
Attach Rotary Cutter to tractor and check cutter-to-tractor driveline telescoping length clearance.
(See MAINTENANCE BEFORE EACH USE in Lubrication and Maintenance section.)
• Modify PTO Driveline (If Necessary)
1. To adjust the length, hold the half-shafts next to
each other in the shortest working position and
mark them.
2. Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally.
3. Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the
same length as the guard tubes.
4. Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs.
Grease sliding profiles. No other changes
may be made to PTO drive shaft and guard.
5. Chains must be fitted so as to allow sufficient
articulation of the shaft in all working positions.
6. The PTO drive shaft must not be suspended
from the chains!
