7.
Hold driveline sections parallel to each other. The
inner and outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching universal joint
shield on the adjacent section (see
“B”
dimensions).
8.
If driveline sections are too long, measure 1"
(
“B”
dimension) back from universal joint shield and
make a mark at this location on the inner and outer
driveline shields.
9.
Cut-off inner driveline shield at measured mark
(“
X
” dimension). Cut same amount off inner driveline
profile (“
X1
” dimension).
10. Repeat cut-off procedure (“
Y
” & “
Y1
” dimensions) on
the outer driveline section.
b. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
Check Maximum Allowable Length
Figure 1-7
Check Maximum Allowable Length
Refer to Figure 1-7:
Make sure driveline collapsible length is checked first.
See
“Check Driveline Collapsible Length”
Driveline maximum allowable length, when fully
extended, must have a minimum overlap of profile tubes
by not less than 1/2 the free length with both inner and
outer profile tubes being of equal length. Determine the
maximum allowable length as follows:
1.
Unhook driveline from tractor and Grooming Mower.
Pull outer and inner drivelines apart.
2.
Measure and record
“Free Length”
of inner and
outer profiles as shown in Figure 1-7.
3.
Move driveline halves together until profile tubes
overlap by 1/2 the “Free Length”. For future reference,
measure and record
“Maximum Allowable Length”
as shown in Figure 1-7.
Record Maximum Allowable Length here: ________
4.
Reattach inner driveline yoke to gearbox shaft and
outer driveline yoke to tractor's PTO shaft.
5.
The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
ensure that both ends are secured. Reattach any end
that is loose.

WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
Refer to Figure 1-8:
1.
Start tractor and raise Grooming Mower just enough
to remove support blocks.
2.
Return to the tractor and slowly engage tractor
hydraulic 3-Point control lever to raise and lower
mower while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if
required.
3.
Raise and lower implement to find maximum
extended driveline length. Check to make certain
driveline overall length does not exceed maximum
recorded length in step 3 under
4.
If needed, set tractor 3-Point lift height to keep
driveline from exceeding maximum allowable length.
