2.

Make sure the lower links and top link on the 3-point hitch arms of your tractor are 
the correct size (Cat. 2 only), so that they correspond to the size of the hitch on the 
shredder you have purchased.

Verify that the hitch assembly is mounted in the correct position for the shredder's 
application. (front or rear mounted ontractor)

P.T.O. Installation:

First, connect the P.T.O. shaft to the tractor. With the shaft in its shortest position,
there should be about a 2" clearance between the end of the gearbox shaft and the 
end of the P.T.O. shaft. Should it be necessary to shorten the P.T.O. shaft, shorten 
both male and female shafts equally, keeping the protective tube covers 1" shorter 
than the steel tubes.

Particular attention should be given to carefully removing all burrs and to clean and 
lubricate the steel tubes and protective covers. There must be sufficient telescopic 
movement so that the two tubes do not touch the end of the P.T.O. shaft.

It is most important to carefully raise and lower the shredder with the tractor hydraulic
system, making sure that the P.T.O. shaft does not bottom or disengage the telescopic 
shaft tubes, otherwise damage may occur.
