BEFCO DR0-330, Operator'S Manual

Page: 28 / 56

CAUTION: Always work with the driveline as straight as possible. This will
prolong its life and that of its components. It is advised not to work at an angle
greater than 15 degrees.
4.04 - Ratchet Torque Limiter
The tedder is supplied with a PTO driveline that comes equipped with a ratchet torque
limiter. The PTO yoke end is attached to the tractor’s PTO, while the end with the
ratchet torque limiter is attached to the tedder.
The purpose of the limiter is to elastically transmit the desired torque to the unit,
absorbing any overloads by temporarily slipping. When the torque limiter slips,
disengage the PTO in order to prevent excessive wear.
