BE-AGMZXXX USER MANUAL
Adjust the third point so that the upper part of the frame is parallel to the ground.
Lock all connections parts with the special sway chains or tie rods.
It is always good to make sure that the central gearbox axis is parallel to the ground thus reducing the
stresses on the power take-off and extending the working life of the equipment.
DANGER!
Pay attention to the tractor’s front wheel grip when the equipment is set up and lifted; if the wheels
appear to be too lightened, ballast the tractor front tires or add front weights.
CAUTION!
After executing the above-mentioned activities, it is always good to check that all bolts and nuts of your
shredder are tightened strongly (refer to the torque specifications in this manual).
DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Before assembling the PTO shaft, check that its RPM and direction of rotation match those of the tractor.
Moreover, read carefully the instruction manuals of the PTO shaft and the tractor manufacturers.
Before starting work, make sure all safety shields are in place. Check in particular that the safety guards
cover the PTO shaft throughout its extension. When attaching the mower input driveline to the tractor PTO,
be sure that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the tractor PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the tractor PTO shaft
could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the implement.
CAUTION!
Make sure the driveline will not bottom out (at its most compressed position there must be at least 3/4”
clearance between each profile end and opposite profile universal joint) or become disengaged (at its
farthest extended position a minimum profile engagement of 1/3 of the length must be maintained).
Check out that the cardan shaft minimum and maximum length are the ones required by the machine-tractor
coupling. Should problems arise, contact a skilled repair shop or the drive shaft retailer.
After installation, secure safety guards both to the tractor and the machine using the special chains and
make sure that they pivot freely. If the PTO shaft is equipped with other safety devices, such as a pair limiter
or freewheels, be sure to install them on the machine side. As for the PTO use and maintenance, refer to the
relevant booklet.
