Coupling the PTO shaft
WARNING
Danger from crushing or impact if there is insufficient clearance
when coupling the PTO shaft!
Couple the PTO shaft with the tractor before coupling the machine
with the tractor. This will ensure the necessary clearance for safe
coupling of the PTO shaft.
1. Drive the tractor up to the machine, leaving a clearance of ap-
proximately 25 cm between the tractor and the machine.
2. Secure the tractor against unintentional starting and rolling
away, see the chapter "Securing the tractor against unintentional
starting and rolling away", from page 105.
3. Check whether the universal joint shaft of the tractor is switched
off.
4. Clean and grease the tractor's universal joint shaft.
5. Fit the latch of the PTO shaft over the universal joint shaft of the
tractor until the latch is heard to engage. When coupling the
PTO shaft, refer to the operating manual provided for the PTO
shaft and observe the permissible universal joint shaft speed of
the tractor.
6. Secure the PTO shaft guard using the supporting chain(s) to
prevent movement.
6.1 Fasten the supporting chain(s) so that it as perpendicular to
the PTO shaft as possible.
6.2 Attach the supporting chain(s) in a way that ensures suffi-
cient swivelling range of the PTO shaft in all operating posi-
tions.
Supporting chains must not become caught on machine or tractor
parts.
7. Check that there is sufficient clearance around the PTO shaft in
all operational positions. Insufficient clearance will result in dam-
age to the PTO shaft.
8. Provide the necessary clearance (if required).
