Connect the machine to the tractor without a universal shaft.
Drive in the three-point hitch all the way.

when the PTO shaft end of the tractor and the drive journal of the machine are at the same
height horizontally.
Switch off the tractor, remove the ignition key and take it with you.
Secure machine and tractor against rolling away.
Disassemble the universal shaft.
Attach the universal shaft half with the wide-angle coupling (1) on the machine side.
Attach the other universal shaft half (2) on the tractor side.
For further procedure, please refer to the operating instructions of the universal shaft
manufacturer.

Damage to the machine due to swivel range of the universal shaft
Make sure to take into account the swivel range of the universal shaft in all operating states.
Otherwise parts may touch the universal shaft which leads to damages at the tractor and/or
machine.
Ensure there is enough room for the universal shaft to swivel in all operating states
(cornering with maximum steering angle).
