Driveline Maximum Length
Figure 5-6
Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 5-6:
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by
not less than 4" with both inner and outer profile tubes
free length being equal.
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2. Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
4" overlapping of the profile tubes as shown below.
Once assembled, measure and record the maximum
allowable length for future reference.
Record maximum allowable length here: ________
3. Reattach driveline to tractor power take-off and drive
unit shaft following steps 5 to 10 on page 25.
4. Continue with “Check Driveline Interference” on
Check Driveline Interference
1. Start tractor and raise Pendulum Spreader just
enough to remove support blocks from under the
spreader.
2. Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-point control lever
to lower spreader while checking for all of the
following at the same time:
•
Sufficient clearance between drawbar and
spreader driveline. Move drawbar ahead, aside or
remove if required.
•
PFS8010 only: Sufficient clearance between
driveline and shaped hook-up bar.

Maximum Driveline Angle
Figure 5-7
Driveline Maximum Yoke Angle
Figure 5-8
Refer to Figure 5-7 & Figure 5-8:
3. With power take-off disengaged and stopped, raise
implement fully up to make the following driveline
checks below. If driveline exceeds any of the limits
listed, set tractor 3-point lift limiter at a height that will
keep the driveline within its lift limits or disengage
power take-off and wait for driveline to stop rotating
before exceeding the lift limits.
•
Driveline does not exceed 30
o
up. (See Figure 5-7)
•
Driveline yoke angle at either end does not exceed
35
o
off center line of driveline. (See Figure 5-8)
•
Driveline does not exceed maximum allowable
length recorded in step 2 under “Check Driveline
Maximum Length” on page 27.

IMPORTANT:
Avoid premature driveline breakdown.
A driveline that is operating
must not exceed
an
angle of 30 degrees up or down and yoke angle
must
not exceed
35
o
off center line of driveline while
operating 3-point lift
