Drive shaft attachment
Before assembly, check the minimum length of the drive shaft.
The minimum length is the smallest possible distance between the tractor PTO and
the connection point on the trailer.
An excessively long drive shaft can buckle during operation or even break off.
The section tubes of an excessively long drive shaft can be shortened using an angle
grinder with a metal cutting disk or similar tool. The tubes are made of hardened
material. After cutting, deburr both section tubes and remove all swarf.
You must also read the drive shaft operating manual carefully and follow the
contained instructions.
