rectly.

assembly
Improper assembly may lead to malfunc-
tions and damage to the machine, which
could result in injury to persons.
 Only have the reassembly carried out
by qualified personnel or specialist ser-
vice centers according to the assembly

needs to be assembled or disassem-
bled.
6.2 Adjusting the transmission
shaft
WARNING
Risk of injury as a result of incorrect
installation
Incorrect installation of the transmission
shaft may cause bodily injury.
 Only transmission shafts which have
been approved by the manufacturer
may be used for this machine.
 Follow the Operator's Manual from the
transmission shaft manufacturer.
 Before each use, check that the trans-
mission shaft is fitted and operating cor-
rectly and that all safety guards are in
place.
ATTENTION
Risk of material damage as a result of
damage to the transmission shaft
The transmission shaft may be damaged
if:
- The transmission shaft is too long or too
short
- The profile tube overlap is too small
- The drive speed is too high
- It has been inadequately maintained
 Check the length and profile tube over-
lap of the transmission shaft.
 Always take the maximum permissible
drive speed into account.
 Follow the Operator's Manual from the
transmission shaft manufacturer.
As supplied, the transmission shaft is the
maximum length. It is therefore possible to
adjust the transmission shaft on different
tractors.
Transmission shaft minimum meas-
urements

be adjusted so that:

The profile tubes overlap by at least half
their length L in the longest operating
