5. 5 DRIVELINE DIMENSIONA PTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To ac-company the variety of 3 point hitch geometry availabletoday, the driveline can be too long for most machinesor too short for others. It is very important that the drive-line be free to telescope but not to bottom out whengoing through its working range. If the driveline bottomsout, the bearings on both the machine and tractor PTOshaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time.
1. To determine the proper length of the driveline,follow this procedure:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially smallchildren.
b. Attach the chipper to the tractor (see section5.8) but do not attach the driveline.
Fig. 11 DRIVELINE DIMENSIONS
c. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level withthe tractor PTO shaft.
d. Measure the dimension between the lockinggrooves on the tractor PTO shaft and the machineinput shaft.
e. Measure the same dimensions on the compresseddriveline.
f. If the compressed driveline dimension exceeds themachine dimension, the driveline will have to be cut.
2. When cutting the driveline, follow this procedure:
a. Subtract the machine dimension (A) from the uncutdriveline dimension (B) or (B-A). This dimensiondetermines how much too long the driveline is.
b. Add another inch (25 mm) to the dimensionto be sure it doesn't bottom out, to determine(C) the cut off dimension.
c. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) fromboth ends. Cut both the plastic tubes andthe metal cores.
Fig. 1 2 CUT OFF DIMENSION
d. Use a file to remove the burrs from theedges that were cut.
e. Assemble the 2 ends of the shaft.
Fig. 1 3 SHORTENING
f. Make sure the shaft can telescope freely. If it doesnot, separate the 2 parts and inspect for burrs orcuttings on the shaft ends. Be sure it telescopesfreely before installing.
