CAUTIO

Measure the distance between the ends of the two shafts (Dimension “A”, Figure 1). Each half of the PTO should be equal to dimension “A” minus two (2) inches. If the driveline must be cut to a shorter length, clamp driveline in a well-padded vise to prevent damage to the shield (Figure 3). Cut the plastic shields 1 ½” shorte than the shafts

Repeat the procedure to the other driveline half. Remove all burrs and cuttings. Apply multi-purpose grease to inside of oute (female) driveline section. Assemble driveline and install on tractor and spreader. Pull on each driveline section to be sure yokes lock into place. Make certain driveline shielding is in place and in good condition.

NOTE: A PTO driveline that is too long and “bottoms out” could possibly cause severe damage to the gearbox. It is VERY IMPORTANT to check the proper PTO driveline length for your tractor. Gearboxes damaged by incorrect PTO driveline length are NOT covered by warranty.

NOTE: The use of a PTO shaft adapter or extension could require that the PTO driveline be shortened a considerable amount. If this i s done, the driveline halves may separate when the spreader is lowered to the ground.

Do not operate this equipment without shields properly installed. This is for your protection, and the manufacturer recommends the use of these shields at all times.

When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring-activated locking pin slides freely and is seated in groove on PTO shaft. loose shaft could slip off and result in personal injury or damage to equipment

If your tractor has extra long lift arms, it may be necessary to use a PTO extension so that you can use the PTO shaft assembly provided. Be sure the PTO assembly does not close too far (bottom out) if you use a PTO extension. Never raise or lower the seeder/spreader so tha the PTO shaft assembly will come apart.

A heavy load can cause instability in driving a tractor. Make sure the front of the tractor is properly counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.

Fertilizers will vary as to weight and quality, which may require additional adjustment by moving he individual fan blades. Moving the blade tips forward will carry more material to the left side. Moving the fan blade tips back will allow mor e material to be spread to the right. Make small adjustment moves and check spread after each adjustment.

NOTE: The gearbox is filled wit h lubricant and sealed at the factory. If operated and stored properly, the gearbox will provide a long, trouble-f ree service life. I disassembly of the gearbox should ever be required, i is important that the box be re-filled with a good qualit grease and that the box halves are resealed with a silicone adhesive.
