Driveline Assembly
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.
The main driveline can be constant velocity or
conventional type. A pull-collar is used to secure the
driveline to the tractor power take-off shaft.
Remove Main Driveline from Cutter

The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to
NOTE:
Complete
instructions on page 19 before removing driveline
