Checking the length
of the PTO shaft
Couple the machine to the tractor without the PTO shaft.
Lower the lower link of the tractor.
Set the combination (tractor and machine) to the smallest steering
angle.
Switch off the tractor and secure it against rolling away.
Shortening the PTO
shaft
Pull the PTO shaft apart and connect one half to the tractor PTO
shaft drive and one to the machine and secure them.
Place the two shaft halves next to each other and:
•
Check for a minimum of 200 mm overlap (b).
•
Check that the PTO shaft is not blocked at one end
(minimum distance (a) = 20 mm).
Shorten the slide tube and guard tube by the same dimension.
Deburr the ends of the tube.
Remove the swarf.
Grease the sliding surfaces well.

There is a marking on the guard tube of the PTO shaft.
Check the length of the PTO shaft and shorten it if necessary.
Place the PTO shaft onto the PTO stub shaft of the machine.
