CAUTION: Ensure that PTO is OFF, has come to a complete stop and allowed to cool before attaching or detaching implements.

The drawings do not show guards on the driveshaft for illustration purposes. A guard is mandatory when using driveshafts.

IMPORTANT: On telescopic driveshafts, the yokes at each end must be aligned as shown. The yokes at each end must not be at 90° to one another.

Angles (a) and (b) at the universal joints must be nearly the same at both ends of the driveshaft. In applications where it is not possible (sharp turns with PTO engaged), it is recommended to use a continuous-velocity driveshaft.

  1. Turn the PTO OFF.

  2. Turn the engine OFF and remove key.

  3. Set drawbar for the application. See "Select PTO Drawbar Position" in this section.

  4. Raise PTO shield (if equipped with flip-up style) and remove PTO guard.

  5. Attach implement to the machine (drawbar or 3-point hitch) before connecting PTO. Raise hitch to full height (transport) position if it is not to be used.

  6. With engine off, turn PTO driveshaft by hand to line up splines. Connect implement driveshaft to PTO shaft until driveshaft lock engages. Pull implement driveshaft to be sure that it is locked to PTO shaft.

  7. Lower PTO shield. Check that all shields are in place and in good condition. Check implement driveshaft shields to ensure that they rotate freely on shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.
