Driveline Installation
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.
Refer to Figure 1-6 on page 11:
1. Push in on the inner driveline push pin and slide
driveline yoke over the gearbox input shaft.
2. Release inner yoke push pin and continue to slide the
inner yoke onto the gearbox shaft until the push pin
pops out.
3. Pull on the driveline yoke to make sure it is securely
fastened to the gearbox input shaft.
4. Collapse driveline by pushing on the tractor end of
the driveline toward the spreader gearbox shaft.
Driveline Hook-up
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
• 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.
• Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and
bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
• Check driveline when lowering implement to make sure it
does not interfere with the tractor drawbar. If needed, shut
tractor off and move or remove drawbar to prevent driveline
damage.
• Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
limitations.
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Do not exceed 540 rpm power take-off speed or equipment
breakage may result.
1. If driveline collapsible length has not been checked,
go to “Check Driveline Collapsible Length” on
page 11. Otherwise, continue with step 2 below.
2. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 9.
Refer to Figure 1-6 on page 11:
3. Push in on the outer driveline push pin and push
driveline yoke onto the tractor power take-off shaft.
Release pull collar and continue to push driveline
yoke forward until pull collar locks in place.
4. Pull on driveline yokes at the tractor and implement
end to make sure it is secured to the tractor power
take-off shaft and implement gearbox shaft.
5. Continue with “Check Driveline Interference” on
page 13.
IMPORTANT: The drivelines must be lubricated
before putting them into service. Refer to
“Lubrication Points” on page 23.
IMPORTANT: An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
IMPORTANT: Check driveline minimum collapsible
length before completing “Driveline Hook-up”.
Structural damage to the tractor and spreader can
occur if this check is not made. Refer to “Check
Driveline Collapsible Length” on page 11.
IMPORTANT: If tractor drawbar interferes with the
driveline during hook-up, disconnect driveline and
move drawbar forward, to the side, or remove.
