is the correct length when chan-ging
tractors! (see Chapter 3.3.8)

to the implement.
(The wide angle coupling must be installed on the
implement. Note the labeling on the universal drive

universal drive shaft is at its shortest. (straight
ahead)
• The rest of the procedure can be found in the manual
provided by the universal drive shaft manufacturer.
• Swing the PTO shaft holder (2) upwards.
• Slide PTO shaft (1) onto PTO end.
