SECTION II

PREPARATION FOR USE

NOTE

A. Attach cutter to Category I 3-point hitch per trac-

tor operator’s manual. Do not comnnect driveline at

this time.

NOTE

B. Raise and lower cutter to determine position

with shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft

and gearbox input shaft. Shut down tractor leaving

cutter in position of shortest distance. Securely

block cutter in position. (Figure 2-1)

C. Pull driveline apart. Attach outer (female) sec-

tion to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on driveline section to

be sure that yoke locks into place.

D. Hold driveline sections parallel to each other to

determine if too long. Each section should end

approximately 3 inches (76mm) short of reaching

universal joint shield on opposite section. If too long,

measure 3 inches (76mm) back from universal joint

shield and mark on opposite section. (Figure 2-1).

Do this for both sections.

Figure 2-1

E. Raise and lower cutter to determine position with

greatest distance between PTO shaft and gearbox

input shaft. Shut down tractor leaving cutter in posi-

tion of greatest distance. Securely block cutter in

position. (Figure 2-1)

Tractor should have 25 -35 PTO horsepower.

It is recommended that front end ballast, wheel

weights and/or fluid in tires be used to

increase stability.

Due to the many variations in tractor/imple-

ment hitch points and corresponding differ-

ences in distances between tractor PTO

shafts and implement input shafts, drivelines

may need to be shortened as described in the

following steps:

F. Hold driveline sections parallel to each other

and check for minimum 5 inches (15cm) overlap.

(Figure 2-2) If driveline has been marked for cutting,

overlap will be the distance between two marks. If

driveline has less than minimum overlap, do not use.

Contact authorized Bush Hog dealer.

G. Clamp driveline in a well padded vice to pre-

vent damage to the shield. Cut of shield where

marked. (Figure 2-3)

Minimum Overlap

NOTE

If driveline is the correct length, omit the fol-

lowing sreps “G” through “J” and proceed to

step “K”.
