Attaching PTO Driveline

CAUTION: Always shut off tractor engine before attaching PTO driveline. Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that telescoping members are assembled so that joint planes are in proper position as shown.

Keep hook-up and PTO shaft splines free from paint, dirt, chaff and burrs. Apply John Deere Moly High Temperature EP Grease or John Deere EP Moly Grease on tractor PTO shaft before attaching PTO driveline.

Never use a steel hammer to connect or disconnect the hook-up on PTO shaft.

Refer to the basic telescoping hook-up Operator's Manual to properly connect telescoping hook-up to the tractor PTO shaft.
