Primary PTO shaft
The direction of rotation is shown on a decal.
Separate the two half PTO shafts and connect them to
the machine's input shaft and to the tractor PTO stub.
Check the length of the PTO shaft:
• When the PTO shaft is in its maximum overlap
position (retracted), tubes should not butt against
the yokes.
• As a safety measure, a clearance (L) of at least
25 mm (1’’) must be maintained.
• When the PTO shaft is in its maximum extended
position, the tube overlap must be more than
250 mm (10’’).
If this is not the case:
Never operate the PTO shaft at an angle X exceeding
30°.
Make sure that the PTO shaft is correctly
adjusted, to avoid premature wear and tear.
Apply the safety and maintenance
instructions stipulated in the manual
supplied with the transmission.
Check that there is still a minimum overlap of
250 mm (10’’) when the machine is in working
position and the tractor in line with the machine.
