Mounting PTO shaft
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower’s side.
When connecting PTO shaft between tractor and mower make sure that external guard tube
of the shaft is on the tractor’s side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening
their small chains to immovable parts of tractor and mower. The PTO shaft must operate at the
lowest possible angle. This will ensure that both shaft and the machine last as long as possible.
CAUTION:
If need be, shorten the PTO haft according to its operator’s manual given by the
shaft’s manufacturer (Fig. 17).
Fig. 17. Instruction of PTO shaft shortening
CAUTION:
Handle all parts with utmost care. Never place your hands or fingers between
one part and the other. Wear safety clothes such as gloves, protective
footwear and goggles. The operation of shortening must be carried out with
the utmost care as the PTO shaft will have to be replaced if the telescopic
shafts are shortened to an excessive extent.
CAUTION:
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and disconnected
from tractor PTO for transport and service.
NOTICE:
The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by an incorrectly
fitted or used PTO shaft.
