CAUTION
Without the proper amount of ballast in the
tires, the traction unit may become unstable
and cause bodily injury.
Make sure that the front of the traction unit is
equipped with the proper amount of ballast;
refer to the traction unit Operator's Manual for
ballast requirements.

Adjusting the PTO Shaft
Length
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
PTO shaft
Procedure
A long PTO shaft is supplied with the machine to
accommodate traction units with larger PTO shaft
variations. For most traction units, this shaft is too
long and must be cut to the correct length or damage
may result.
1.
Measure the distance from the lock groove of
the traction unit PTO shaft to the lock groove of
the machine impeller input shaft.
Note:
Record this dimension.
2.
Fully collapse the PTO shaft and measure the
distance between the lock pin collars.
Note:
Record this dimension.
3.
At its shortest length, the 2 halves of the PTO
shaft must have at least 37 mm (1-1/2 inches) of
additional clearance to collapse
Note:
If the dimension in Step
37 mm (1-1/2 inches) greater than the dimension
in Step 2, the PTO shaft is too long; proceed to
step 4. If there is enough clearance to allow the
PTO shaft to collapse, proceed to Step 9.
1. PTO shaft
4.
Use the following calculation to establish
how much shorter the shaft must be, when
connected, to ensure a clearance of 37 (1-1/2
inches):
A.
Subtract the dimension recorded in Step
from the dimension recorded in Step 1.
Note:
Record this dimension.
B.
Subtract the result in Step
(1-1/2 inches).
Note:
The PTO shaft must be shortened
by this amount.
5.
Using a hacksaw, shorten the guards and the
steel tubes by the calculated length.
Note:
Cut both halves of the PTO shaft.
6.
Deburr the ends of the steel tubes internally and
externally.
7.
Remove all debris from the tube sections.
8.
Grease the steel tubes liberally.
9.
Assemble the PTO shaft and secure it to the
machine and traction unit.
10.
Measure the shaft; if it is not at least 37 mm
(1-1/2 inches), repeat the procedure.
