ATTENTION: WHEN THE IMPLEMENT IS OPERATED WITH THE CARDAN
SHAFT THERE IS A HAZARD OF PROCESS MATERIAL OR THE IMPLEMENT COM-
PONENTS RELEASE, THEREFORE IT IS NESESSARY TO OBSERVE SAFE DIS-
TANCE!
When the implement cardan shaft is coupled to the PTO shaft end
extension
the fol-
lowing rules and requirements shall be observed:
1. Check the engaged PTO shaft speed mode (“540” or “1000”) for compliance according
to tractor PTO shaft end
extension
type and implement PRS installed;
2. Before engagement detach the cardan shaft into two parts.
3. Inspect the cardan shaft, PTO shaft and PRS for absence of mechanical damage
and for completeness of the set. Clear the PTO shaft end
extensions
of dirt when needed,
and lubricate it according to the lubrication chart, specified in the implement operation
manual.
4. The cardan shaft part having the icon of “Tractor” on it, shall be coupled to the PTO
shaft end
extension
, and the second part – to the implement PRS accordingly. Do not forget
to fasten contactor splined bushings on the PTO and PRS shaft ends properly: fastening
method shall be specified by the cardan shaft manufacturer.
5. The implement cardan shaft end yoke from the side of PTO shaft and PRS shall
be in the same plane as indicated in Figure 5.11.1.

6. Safety clutch, as indicated in Figure 5.11.2, shall be installed only from the side of
PRS of the drive of the implement coupled, other method of mounting will not ensure the
excess of timely protection of the tractor PTO shaft from the maximum permissible torque.
After lengthy downtime check the implement safety clutch technical condition.

7. Mounting of the cardan shaft with guard housing together with PTO shaft and
PRS protective devices, with retaining chains both from the side of the PTO shaft and of
the PRS, as indicated in Figure 5.11.3, ensures cardan joint safety.

8. When the cardan shaft is used for the first time it is necessary to check the car-
dan shaft length, and to adjust it to the operating conditions with tractors “BELARUS-
1822.3/1822 .3/2022.3/2022 .3” when needed. For more detailed guidelines on cardan
shafts see the technical documentation enclosed. Contact the cardan shaft manufacturer
when needed.
