PTO shaft
Only use the PTO shaft specified by the manufacturer:
•
Walterscheid W 2300 with or without freewheel for tractors up to
max. 40 hp
•
Walterscheid W 2400 with or without freewheel for tractors from 40
hp
If you have a tractor without a double clutch for the universal
joint shaft drive, you must necessarily use a freewheel PTO
shaft.
Otherwise, the tractor will remain in motion due to the flywheel
mass of the rotor, even if the clutch pedal has been depressed.
5.3
Fitting and adjusting the PTO shaft
5.3.1
Fitting the PTO shaft
Before fitting, clean the gearbox input shaft on the machine and
always use grease to push the PTO shaft onto the input shaft.
5.3.2
Adjusting the PTO shaft when first attached
When first attached, adjust the PTO shaft to the tractor accord-
ing to fig. 5.2.2. Since this adjustment is only applicable for this
one type of tractor, the PTO shaft adjustment must be checked
and repeated if the type of tractor is changed.
