Checking the PTO
shaft length
The length of the PTO shaft has been selected at the factory to suit
almost all types of tractor. Only in exceptional cases is a correction of
the PTO shaft length required on individual tractors. Check the length
of the PTO shaft for each tractor prior to first use.
The operating manual from the PTO shaft manufacturer is included.
This includes detailed information on the relevant version of the PTO
shaft and must be observed.
Couple the machine to the tractor without the PTO shaft.
Lower the tractor's lower link.
Set the tractor and machine to the smallest angle of lock.
Secure the tractor against rolling away, shut off the engine and
remove the ignition key.
Switch off the tractor and secure it
Before you dismount:
Switch off the tractor.
Remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor against rolling away.
An unsecured tractor can run you over or trap you. Otherwise,
serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Check the angle of lock
The tractor's PTO shaft has a wide hinge joint, allowing an angle of
lock of up to 80°. Make sure that the PTO shaft is not damaged
during sharp cornering. The machine may be damaged as a result.
Correct length
A PTO shaft which is too long must not be used. Otherwise,
damage to the drive bearings on the tractor and machine may be
caused as a result.
