P.T.O. SHAFT
Connect the PTO shaft
to the 540 rpm tractor drive
(with the free wheel fitted on the machine side).
Make sure PTO length is correct :
1) When the PTO is in its maximum extended position, a minimum tube overlap of 200 mm (8") must be
maintained.
2) When the PTO is in its maximum overlap position (retracted), tubes should not butt against the yokes. As
a safety measure a clearance of at least 10 mm (2/5") must be maintained. If this is not the case, shorten
the two transmission tubes and the two guard tubes by the same length (fig. 22 and 23). Bevel and clean the
tubes (fig. 24) and grease the inside of the outer tube (fig. 25).
3) Never operate the PTO at too great an angle (30° maximum) (fig. 26).
These recommendations and adjustments must be respected to avoid damage or premature
wear of the PTO.
Never connect the PTO to the 1000 rpm tractor drive.
To avoid accidents which could be serious, make sure that the guards are always correctly
in place and secured with the safety chains. On machine side attach the safety chain to the
breakaway latch. Damaged guards should be replaced immediately.
