the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such a driveline
will break apart while rotating at high speeds and can cause
serious injury or death. Always remove the implement from
use until the damaged driveline can be repaired or replaced.

The driveline is bolted to the spreader drive unit shaft and
coupled to the tractor power take-off shaft with a push
pin:

surface. Raise spreader to align drive unit input shaft
level with tractor power take-off shaft Securely block
spreader at this height to keep unit from lowering
while attaching the driveline.

before putting it into service. Refer to “Lubrication”
IMPORTANT:
Some tractors are equipped with
multi-speed power take-off ranges. Be certain your
tractor’s power take-off is set for 540 rpm.

The tractor’s power take-off shaft and
spreader drive unit shaft must be level with each
other to obtain the shortest distance between the
two shafts.
