Operator's safety
•
Before mounting (connecting of the cardan shaft to the tractor and the sprayer) the drive
shaft – cardan shaft,
always turn off the engine and remove the start key from its lock
.
•
When mounting the cardan shaft, the cardan shaft of the tractor can be easily turned if the
engine and the cardan shaft are turned off.
•
When mounting the cardan shaft make sure that the safety pin is in right position and well
stuck in its hole. Pull and push the cardan shaft forwards and backwards as long as the safety
pin is not in its hole.
•
Rotating shafts without protection can be very dangerous!
•
Always make sure that all of the safety devices are on their place and that all of the rotating
surfaces are well covered, including the "junctions" of the cardan shaft on both ends! Do not
use cardan shafts without protection!
•
Do not touch rotating cardan shafts! The safety distance to a rotating cardan should not be
less than 1.5 m.
•
Secure protection elements with chain from turning!
•
Make sure that the protection of the cardan on the tractor and connection is well connected
(attached)!
3.2
Connection of cardan shaft
The first mounting of the cardan shaft should be performed as follows:
•
Mount the sprayer to the tractor
•
Stop the tractor’s engine and remove the start key.
•
Use the cardan shaft to connect drive output shaft of the tractor and input shaft on the
sprayer's pump.
•
In the case the cardan shaft is too long and needs to be shortened, pull out the cardan shaft
and mount each end of it separately to the shaft of the tractor and to the shaft of the sprayer,
measure it out and mark the place where it needs to be cut.
•
Use an appropriate tool to shorten both parts in the same way and remove sharp edges.
•
Attach profiles and connect both parts of the cardan shaft.
WARNING: To avoid accidents and personal injuries, follow these
recommendations and safety regulations!
