Measure the minimum distance (A) between
the notch of the tractor P.T.O. and that of the
shredder, when they are on the same axis.
CONNECTING THE PROPELLER SHAFT

THE TRACTOR ENGINE SHOULD NOT RUN, THE MACHINE SHOULD BE CORRECTLY
CONNECTED TO THE TRACTOR (See page 15).
IT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO HAVE A PROPELLER SHAFT OF APPROPRIATE LENGTH.

Measure the distance of the propeller shaft, in the position of minimum
extension (all closed).
The measure
B
should be smaller than
A
of at least 25 mm.
During work both inside that outside plastic pipes should not bump
against heads.
If the propeller shaft is too long,
before cutting
metal pipes and guards,
it is necessary to check that, when it is in the maximum extension position,
inside metal pipes remain overlapped at least of 1/3 of the length (
L
).
If the overlapping is smaller, there is too much difference between
the minimum and maximum position of the transmission.
If this occurs, it is necessary to ask for longer lower connecting
arm to space more the machine from the tractor.
Be careful to cut surface: trim the cut inside and outside, clean for
eliminating chips and dirt, and grease with lithium grease.
Always check that the shaft is dimensioned according to the power of
the machine declared.
Check that the propeller shaft does not take angles over the value
admitted.
Check that the machine cannot be raised over the maximum dimension
allowed by the shaft length:
it could come out.
If the machine is connected to a tractor provided with
tracks or without double clutch, a cardan shaft with free-
wheel should be used to avoid the inertia of the shredder
rotor stopping quickly the tractor-machine unit.
