Install Telescoping Driveline

Do not use a hammer. Do not connect telescoping driveline with the use of a hammer or other equivalent tools. By using these tools, telescoping driveline can get seriously damaged. A damaged telescoping shaft can cause both machine and tractor damages.

If telescoping driveline is too long it can seriously damage drive bearings of both tractor and machine.

Turn off tractor.

Following points must be checked before installing the telescoping driveline:

• Check, before coupling telescoping driveline, if telescopic members has to be shortened.
• Make sure that tractor PTO shaft is clean and greased.
• Couple telescoping driveline at both tractor and machine side.
• Make sure that shaft sliding ring catches with slot of PTO.
• Make sure that PTO protection is fitted correctly at machine side to prevent protection covers from turning with telescoping driveline.
• Shorten telescoping driveline if necessary (see Preparing the Baler section).
