SAFETY
USE OF CARDAN SHAFT
It is allowed to use only the cardan shafts that are delivered with the mulcher or recommended by the
manufacturer of the mulcher.
Cardan shaft lining must be installed and be in proper condition and position.
Take care of proper overlapping of tubes in transport and operating position
Connecting and disconnecting of the cardan shaft can be performed only with the turned off output cardan
shaft of the tractor, turned off engine and ignition keys pulled out.
The angle at which the cardan shaft operates should be the lowest possible one which ensures a long life of
the cardan shaft and the tool.
Always properly install cardan shaft.
With particular attention, tie the cardan shaft guard with the chains that are set for this purpose (the cardan
shaft guard must not rotate), be sure to read the instructions provided with the cardan shaft. If the guard is
damaged, immediately replace it with the new one.
When not using the mulcher, hook the cardan shaft with the bearing.
If you are not sure of how cardan shaft works, if it is unprotected, or the protection has been used or broken,
replace it with the new one having the “CE” mark.
Before turning on the output shaft of the tractor check if the selected speed and direction of rotation is
customized to the permissible speed and direction of rotation of the mulcher.
Before turning on the output shaft of the tractor, check that there are no persons or animals in the danger
zone of the mulcher.
Do not turn on the output shaft while the tractor engine is turned off.
If the cardan shaft is damaged, fix the damage immediately; it is best to contact the nearest service center.
Any unprofessional intervention leads to imbalance of the shaft, which may result in deterioration in
performance or damage to the mulcher or the output shaft of the tractor.
