Refit the cover (1) into its original place.
•
Make sure that pto shafts, protector tube and end gaiter, as well as extension gai-
ters on the fertiliser spreader side, are correctly in place and in good condition!
•
Do not use the safety chain to support the shaft when not in use.
•
Before engaging the pto drive, make sure that the correct tractor pto speed is se-
lected to match the implement.
•
When detaching the pto drive shaft, place in the holder provided on the fertiliser
spreader.
IMPORTANT
Drive shaft damage when engaging the pto drive
The pto drive shaft and the agitator drive can suffer damage if the
pto drive is engaged at high tractor engine speeds.
•
Engage the pto drive at lower tractor engine speeds to avoid
sudden overload to the drive shaft and agitator drive.
•
With abrupt engaging on hydraulic tractor pto drives, it is rec-
ommended that a pto incorporating a friction clutch is used.
Additional information for the fitting of pto shafts equipped with a friction
clutch (optional equipment).
WARNING
Friction clutch injury hazard
Pto drive shafts with friction clutches not conforming to recognised
standards can cause serious injury.
•
The friction clutch must always be installed on the spreader si-
de.
•
For safety reasons an additional extension guard must be fitted
to the spreader side when using a pto drive shaft equipped with
a friction clutch.
•
Should a pto shaft with friction clutch be fitted after the ma-
chine has been delivered, the extension guard included with the
shaft must be fitted onto the spreader.
•
It is recommended that the friction clutch be checked by a pro-
fessional workshop for correct functioning at the end of each
season.
