JOINT COUPLING – PTO SHAFT
FPM Boljevac
It is extremely important to properly adjust the
PTO shaft when attaching the rake to the
tractor. Never allow the universal joints to get
jammed when the machine is raised to its
highest or lowered to its lowest position.
The PTO shaft has a freewheel clutch; make
sure that the clutch side is facing the rake. If
you determine that the PTO shaft is longer and
impossible to attach to the tractor, check the
following points:
1.- When the PTO shaft is fully extended, the
minimum overlap of the PTO shaft tubes must
be kept within 200 mm.
2.- When the PTO shaft is fully retracted, the
end of one tube may not touch the end of the
other tube and the minimum clearance
distance of 20 mm must be provided.
If not provided, both PTO shaft tubes and both
PTO shaft guards must be shortened equally
(see Figures 5 and 6).
Round off any sharp edges (Figure 7) and
clean and lubricate the outer PTO shaft tube
(Figure 8).
Connect the PTO shaft to complete the
operation. 3.- The maximum permissible angle of
deflection of the PTO shaft may not exceed
30 degrees (Figure 9).
NOTICE: Failure to observe the
fundamental requirements for PTO
shaft operation may lead to the
breakage of the PTO shaft or damage to
the rotary rake.
ATTENTION : ALWAYS EXERCISE
CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE RAKE
PTO SHAFT.
CAUTION: Never attach the PTO
shaft to tractors with output shafts
rotating at 1000 min-1 or 750 min-1.
DANGER: Never remove or allow the
PTO shaft guard to rotate during
operation. Attach the
chain for the PTO shaft guard in the
provided place. Replace damaged or
broken guards with new guards
immediately.
