Check Driveline Interference
Refer to Figure 1-3:
Maximum PTO Driveline Movement During Operation
Figure 1-3
1. Slowly engage tractor hydraulic 3-Point control lever
to lower rake while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside, or remove if
required.
2. Raise and lower implement to find maximum
extended driveline length. Check to make certain the
driveline does not exceed the maximum allowable
length and 25
o
up or down.
3. If needed, set tractor 3-Point lift height to keep
driveline from exceeding the maximum allowable
length and 25
o
up.
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline breakdown.
A driveline that is operating must not exceed an
angle of 25 degrees up or down while operating
3-Point lift. See Figure 1-3 below. If needed, set
tractor 3-Point hitch lift height so that the driveline
does not exceed 25
o
up.
