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.
Fitting the PTO shaft
Make sure that you fit the PTO shaft in the correct installation position.
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.
Secure the PTO shaft with a locking pin.
Remove the locking screw (1) between the guard tube (2) and the
guard cone (3).
Twist the guard cone (3) and the guard tube (2) in opposite
directions so that the "noses" of the slide ring (4) are positioned
directly over the slots on the guard cone.
Pull the guard cone (3) and guard tube (2) back until the single joint
(5) is accessible.
Connect the PTO shaft to the machine.
Push the guard cone (3) and guard tube (2) back over the single
