2.3 PTO shaft
2.3.1 General information
Turn the engine off after coupling the
rotary swather to the upper and lower
link arms. Remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor from rolling away.
The PTO shaft is equipped with an overload
coupling. Overload couplings protect the tractor
and machinery against damage. The overload
coupling setting should not be altered. The
guarantee will cease to be valid if the overload
coupling torque is altered by tampering.
The torque is limited at overload and transferred in
pulses during slippage time.
Immediately turn off the PTO shaft if the
overload coupling is activated in order to
avoid premature wear of the overload
coupling.
Compare the torque value RM stamped on
the location shown in the illustration with the
values given in the following table. Contact
your Krone dealer if the values do not match.
Type
Torque (RM)
Swadro 345
550 Nm
Swardro 385
550 Nm
KS-385-5
KS-303-0
Make sure that the tractor cab rear
window is closed before raising the
rear hydraulics. The rotary swather
protective frame could otherwise
damage the rear window.
