ATTENTION!
Pipe profiles of the PTO shaft must overlap at least at 1/2 of the length in normal working
conditions and at least at 1/3 of the length in all working conditions.
When adjusting the PTO shaft, follow the instructions presented in the Operator's
Manual of the PTO shaft.
When the tractor with the manure spreader are turning or travelling on an uneven terrain,
the PTO shaft may be damaged and/or destroyed if it is squeezed or disconnected as a
result of its wrong adjustment.
TIP
Adjustment of the PTO shaft applies only to a specific type of tractor. If the machine is
connected to a different type of tractor, the adjustment procedure for this type of tractor
should be possibly carried out.
