Shortening the PTO
shaft
Shorten the PTO shaft as follows:
Pull the PTO shaft apart and connect one half to the tractor PTO
stub shaft drive and the other half to the machine and secure them.
Place the two shaft halves next to each other and:
•
Check for a minimum of 250 mm overlap (b).
•
Check that the PTO shaft is not blocked
at one end (minimum distance (a) = 20 mm).
If shortening is necessary, saw the same length off the slide tube
and guard tube.
Deburr the ends of the tube.
Remove the swarf.
Grease the sliding surfaces well.
If the PTO shaft has been shortened, the minimum overlap and the mi-
nimum distance must be checked again when it is operated with ano-
ther tractor.
Fitting the PTO shaft
Make sure that you fit the PTO shaft in the correct installation position.
There is a mark on the guard tube of the PTO shaft.
Check the length of the PTO shaft and shorten it if necessary.
Fit the PTO shaft onto the machine's PTO stub shaft.
Secure the PTO shaft with a locking pin.
