2. Raise the Chipper up until the Tractor PTO Shaft and Chipper PTO
Shaft are parallel with each other. Measure from the end of the Tractor
PTO Shaft to the end of the Chipper PTO Shaft and record this
dimension in the “SHAFTS LEVEL” row of the table above (Figure 14).
3. Raise the Chipper up as far as it will go. Measure from the end of the
Tractor PTO Shaft to the end of the Chipper PTO Shaft and record this
dimension in the “FULLY RAISED” row of the table above (Figure 15).
Note: If your longest measurement exceeds 32" you will require a longer PTO
Shaft. Do not proceed with installation until you have a longer PTO
Shaft. If you have any questions, please visit us at www.MacKissic.com
or call 1-800-348-1117 .
4. Take the shortest recorded measurement you wrote in the table and
add 2".
5. Take that number and subtract it from 27" (overall compressed length
of the supplied PTO Shaft).
6. This final number is the length that you will need to cut off of the PTO
Shaft for it to fit properly to your Tractor.
EXAMPLE: Let’s assume the shortest center-to-center measurement in
the table is 22".
• 22 + 2 = 24 (step 4 above)
• 27 – 24 = 3 (step 5 above)
• You would be required to cut 3" off both halves of the PTO Shaft and 3"
off of the Guard.
Note: If you end up with 0" or a negative number, then no changes are
needed until you reach a maximum long measurement of 32" as
indicated on previous page.
