Regulations for use of the transmission
The transmission to the gearboxes is protected throughout the machine by both PTO shafts and bolt down covers. All
guarding should be kept efficient and in good condition. If the condition is poor, the guarding should be renewed before
the implement is used.
UNLESS IT IS CORRECTLY PROTECTED THE TRANSMISSION COULD CAUSE DEATH SINCE IT CAN
CATCH ON PARTS OF THE BODY OR CLOTHING
Ensure retaining chains are correctly anchored on all PTO shafts, preventing them form turning. Ensure drive line can
turn easily within the shield. Keep spline grooves clean and greased so that PTO shaft can connect easily. Besides
being described in this manual, the method by which the PTO shaft is connected to the tractor must be checked out with
the instructions in the tractor manufacturer’s manual.
Driving Safely on Public Roads
When driving on public roads, always comply with the Highway Code provisions in force in the country where the
machine is being used. Pay particular attention near crossroads, underpasses, level crossings, when meeting other
vehicles, overtaking stationary or slower vehicles. Drive near the edge of the road and try not to hold up the traffic.
Never park the tractor and/or implement near crossroads, bends, level crossings or where the equipment
could be a danger or obstruction to pedestrian traffic. Never drive on public highways when the implement or
tractor are particularly dirty since soil, grass and other items could drop on to the road and obstruct the normal
road traffic. Disengage the PTO and disconnect the driveline when transporting the implement.
MAXIMUM TRANSPORT SPEED MUST NOT EXCEED 30 km/hr (18 MPH).
PTO Shaft Safety
MAX PTO INPUT 540 R.P.M. Contact your nearest dealer or a specialised retail outlet if the PTO must be replaced with
a longer one, since this must belong to the same power category and possess the same characteristics. An unsuitable
PTO could easily break.
The tractor PTO shaft length may be altered to suit the individual tractor model. When the machine is in operation, the
PTO shaft should have a minimum 1/3 engagement as shown in the diagrams. After the machine has been hitched to
the tractor, it should be checked in various positions that the drive line is the correct length. If the PTO is too short and
tends to slip out of place, it must be replaced with a longer one.
If the PTO shaft is too long, it should be shortened in the following way:
• Set the machine at a minimum distance from the tractor, then brake the
tractor and switch off the engine.
• Separate the two halves of the PTO. Insert the female part into the tractor
PTO and the male part into the machine PTO, checking that the position is
correct by means of the fixing pins.
• Line up the two halves of the PTO together, keeping them parallel.
• Using a felt tip pen, match mark the place where the two halves must be
shortened as shown.
• First cut shield “1” and use part “2” as a reference to cut the splined shaft.
• Proceed in the same way for the second half.
• Trim and chamfer the two cut ends of the PTO and clean off all swarf
and shavings.
•
Grease the two profiles and join the two halves of the PTO together.
• Mount the PTO shaft and check that its length is correct as before.
Do not use the shaft cone as a step
