ATTACHING TO TRACTOR continued....
STEP 10 Raise and lower seeder in order to locate the shortest distance between
equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO output shaft. With the seeder in the
shortest distance position shut down the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK SEEDER IN
POSITION.
STEP 11 Pull apart PTO shaft and attach outer section to tractor PTO output shaft.
NOTE: Be sure to pull on PTO shaft section to ensure yoke has locked into place.
STEP 12 Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if PTO
shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches short of reaching u-
joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too long measure 3 inches back
from each u-joint shield and mark the other shaft section. Be sure to do this for both
PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft sections at this time.
STEP 13 Raise seeder and remove blocking. Raise and lower seeder in order to locate the
longest distance between equipment input shaft and the tractor PTO output shaft.
With the seeder in the longest distance position shut down the tractor and SECURELY
BLOCK THE SEEDER IN POSITION.
STEP 14 As in step 5 hold PTO shaft sections together and check for a minimum of 6
inches of overlap. If PTO shaft has been marked for cutting the overlap is the distance
measured between the two marks. If the PTO shaft has less than a 6 inch overlap, DO
NOT USE. Contact your authorized King Kutter Dealer.
NOTE If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (pg. 20)
STEP 15 Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO shaft
section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on seeder and tractor.
WARNING - Failure to install retaining clip on gearbox input shaft would allow
driveline to swing freely if bolt is sheared causing possible injury or death.
STEP 16 Pull on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place. Make
certain PTO shaft shielding is in place and good working condition.
STEP 17 The PTO shaft shield is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior to
equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke shield attach to a fixed object on the
tractor and equipment ends that will not allow the PTO shaft shield to rotate during
operation.
