Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:
• Remove the driveline from the tractor.
• Position the mower to the point with the shortest dis-
tance between the tractor PTO shaft and cutter gear-
box. Shut down the tractor and securely block the
mower in this position.
• Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO shaft.
• Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and
measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place
mark on opposite section. Cut this length off with a
saw.
• Round off all sharp edges and debur.
• Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.
• Recheck for proper operation.
Engagement Check Procedure
• With the driveline attached, position the mower to the
point where the telescoping driveline is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in
position.
• Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.
• Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.
• Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. This length is the amount the driveline profiles
were engaged.
• If the engaged length is less than 12” for a CV driveline and less than 6” for a non-CV driveline, the shaft is considered
too short and should be replaced with a longer shaft. Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline
length.
NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator must be made
aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid damaging the driveline. OPS-R-
