Check Driveline Maximum Length
Refer to Figure 1-10:
Make sure driveline collapsible length is acceptable. If
needed, refer to “Check Driveline Collapsible Length”
on page 14.
The driveline maximum allowable length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by
not less than 1/3 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
1.
If not already completed, apply multi-purpose grease
to inside of outer profile and reassemble driveline.
2.
Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just
1/3 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown below.
Once assembled, measure and record the maximum
allowable length for future reference.

Reattach driveline to tractor and gearbox shaft
following “Driveline Installation” steps 1 to 7 on
page 14.

Check Driveline Interference
1.
Start tractor and raise Rotary Tiller just enough to
remove support blocks from under tiller.
2.
Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-point control lever
to lower tiller while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if
required.
Refer to Figure 1-11:
!
WARNING
Lifting unit more than 14" above ground with PTO engaged or
engaging PTO with unit higher than 14" above ground can
break the driveline and could cause flying projectiles.
!
WARNING
The driveline
must not exceed
an angle of 25 degrees up or
down while operating. Exceeding this angle with driveline
rotating can break the driveline and cause flying projectiles.
3.
With PTO off, raise implement fully up, and make the
following 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 to
avoid premature driveline breakdown.
•
Tines do not exceed more than 14
"
off the ground.
•
Driveline does not exceed 25
o
up.
•
Driveline does not exceed maximum allowable
length recorded in step 2 under “Check Driveline
Maximum Length”.
