The universal shaft length must be adapted.
• Connect the machine to the tractor without universal shaft.
• Drive the three-point hitch in all the way.
• Move the machine in the shortest position for the universal shaft and lower the lower links, if

The shortest position is reached when the PTO shaft end of the tractor and the drive journal of
the machine are at the same height (horizontal).
• Park the machine on the support jack.
• Switch off the tractor, remove the ignition key and carry it with you and secure the machine
against rolling away.
• Disassemble the universal shaft.
• Attach the universal shaft half with the wide-angle coupling (1) on machine side.
• Attach the other universal shaft half (2) on tractor side.
Observe the marking on the universal shaft.
For further procedure, refer to the operating instructions of the universal shaft manufacturer.
Note
Check the swivel range and clearance of the PTO shaft! Damage can be caused if the tractor or
the machine touch the PTO shaft (e.g. hitching device, hitching frame, lower suspension arms).
