Coupling the universal joint shaft
WARNING
Danger due to crushing and impact due to lacking clearance
when coupling the universal joint shaft!
Couple the universal joint shaft to the tractor before you couple the
implement to the tractor. In this way, you have enough clearance to
safely couple the universal joint shaft.
1. Drive the tractor up to the implement in such a way that a gap
(approx. 25 cm) remains between tractor and implement.
2. Secure the tractor against unintentional starting and
unintentional rolling away, refer to the section "Securing the
tractor against unintentional starting and rolling away" starting at
page 140.
3. Check whether the PTO shaft of the tractor is switched off.
4. Clean and grease the PTO shaft on the tractor.
5. Push the latch of the universal joint shaft onto the tractor PTO
shaft until the latch noticeably engages. When coupling the
universal joint shaft, observe the supplied operating manual for
the universal joint shaft and the permitted PTO shaft speed for
the implement.
The tractor symbol on the protective tube of the universal joint shaft
identifies the tractor-side connection of the universal joint shaft.
6. Secure the universal joint shaft guard using the supporting
chain(s) to prevent movement.
6.1 Fasten the supporting chain(s) as perpendicular to the
universal joint shaft as possible.
6.2 Attach the supporting chain(s) in a way that ensures
sufficient swivelling range of the universal joint shaft in all
operating positions.
CAUTION
Supporting chains must not become caught on machine or tractor
parts.
7. Check whether the clearance around the universal joint shaft is
sufficient in all operating positions. Lacking clearance causes
damage to the universal joint shaft.
8. Eliminate lacking clearance (if necessary).
