Attaching the PTO Shaft to the Tractor and Chipper
1.
Insert the Key into the 3-Point Hitch Drive Shaft of the Chipper (Figure 20).
2.
Align the Key Slot of the PTO Shaft with the Key in the Shaft and slide
it onto the Shaft.
You must install the 1/4" X 1/4" X 1-1/4" key supplied in the hardware
package where the PTO shaft attaches to the chipper. Failure to do so
will result in damage to the machine and is not covered under warranty.
NOTE: Do not allow the 3-Point Hitch Shaft to extend more than 1/4" into
the U-
Joint. This will allow proper clearance to prevent hitting the
Grease Fitting.
3.
Secure the PTO Shaft with the two Set Screws from the Hardware
Package.
NOTE:
If you plan to leave the Chipper attached to the Tractor for extended
periods,
apply thread lock to the Set Screws to help secure them in
place.
4.
Pull the Locking Ring while sliding the PTO shaft onto the Tractor
PTO Spline (Figure 21).
5.
Release the Locking Ring and continue sliding the PTO Shaft on
until the Locking Ring releases and locks into the detent in the
Tractor PTO Spline.
6.
Secure the PTO Shaft Safety Chains to stationary parts of the Chipper
Frame
and Tractor to stop the Guard from turning (Figure 22).
