SET-UP
PTO SHAFT CONNECTION
Before installing the PTO shaft make sure that the RPM rating and the direction of rotation
match those of the tractor. Carefully read the PTO shaft and tractor instructions.
Furthermore, accurately read the instructions of the manufacturer of the PTO shaft and of the
tractor.
Before starting any activity, make sure that the guards are installed on the power take off of
the tractor and PTO shaft. Make sure that they cover the PTO shaft throughout its length.
When fully extended, the plastic pipes must overlap by at
least 1/3 of the length of the pipes (LT). When retracted,
the min. acceptable clearance is 2 inches (picture 3).

Check that the PTO shaft min. and max. length
are within the parameters of the machine-
tractor coupling.
Should problems arise, contact your dealer.
After the installation, anchor the PTO shield to
the tractor and machine using the special
chains; make sure that it turns smoothly. If
the PTO shaft is equipped with safety devices,
e.g. torque limiters or free-wheel devices,
install them on the operative machine side.
For the use and maintenance of the PTO shaft,
please refer to the relevant manual.
WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The working depth of the equipment depends on the position of the lateral skids.
If the skids are raised, the working depth increases; if the skids are lowered, the working
depth decreases.
Make sure that the skids are set at the same height on both sides.

To adjust the working depth, loosen and remove
nut A (picture 4) and adjust the skid height
according to the holes B. When the adjustment
is completed, tighten the screws.
