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.
Secure the tractor against unintentional starting and rolling away, see
the chapter "Securing the tractor against unintentional starting
and rolling away", from page 54.
2. Check whether the universal joint shaft of the tractor is switched
off.
3. Clean and grease the tractor's universal joint shaft.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Provide the necessary clearance (if required).
