Attach to a Tractor
BXS Series

5.3 Install PTO Shaft
The implement must be mounted to the tractor, and fully lowered
to the ground. Make sure tractor is shut off with parking brake
applied.
Check to make sure the shielding on the PTO shaft is in good
condition and able to turn freely, independent of the PTO shaft.
Make sure the PTO yoke ends are clean. Adding a small amount
of lubricant on the splines can help them slide on.
A decal on the shielding indicates the tractor-end of
the driveshaft.

2.
Slide out the end of the PTO shaft up to the tractor output
PTO, aligning the two shaft splines. Press the locking pin
button and push the shaft end onto output PTO.
3.
Once started, slide the shaft all the way on. You might
hear a click and your button should retract to the original
position.
4.
To check that the shaft lock is fully seated, pull back on the
shaft with your hands off the button.
5.
Start the tractor and raise / lower the attachment to check
clearances. A correctly sized shaft should never bottom out
or come apart.
IMPORTANT! Check driveshaft alignment. During operation,
the working angle should not be greater than 15° between
the tractor and the implement. Misalignment can cause
premature wear and eventually failure.
