Assembly
Initial Set Up
Attach TKV 20 to the tractor’s 3-point arms or Category 1
quick hitch.
Sizing the PTO Shaft
1.
Slide PTO Shaft apart and connect the half with the
round hole to the TKV 20 and the spline half to the
tractor’s PTO shaft.
2.
Lift and lower the 3-point arms to find the position
where the two ends are closest together. Lay the two
sides of the shaft side by side and mark the amount
to be cut. Measurer this distance and cut the same
amount off both ends of the shields and both ends of
the shaft. Ensure that when the shaft is in the position
where the two shafts are farthest apart, there will still
be 1/2 of the shaft overlapping.
3.
Cut the distance measured off each half of the shaft.
The guard should be cut back an additional 1.5-1.6
inches on each half to leave the end of the driveline
tube exposed.
4.
Round off sharp edges and remove any burrs on
the driveline tubes. Apply good quality lithium
soap compatible E.P. grease (meeting the N.L.G.I.
#2 specification and containing no more than 1%
molybdenum disulfide) to the outside of the smaller
diameter driveline tube.
5.
Reassemble driveline halves together making sure they
slide (telescope) easily and ensure guards rotate freely.
WARNING:
If the PTO shaft is cut too short, it can
disengage during operation and cause injury.
If you are unsure how to properly cut the PTO
shaft, please see your dealership.
