Fitting The PTO
Due to many different makes and sizes of tractor to which mowers may be fitted, a nominal length PTO shaft is
supplied with the machine. In some cases, the nominal PTO shaft supplied will be too long and will have to be
shortened, see below.
IMPORTANT:
The recommended minimum engagement of the PTO is 150mm in the working position.
This measurement must be taken into account when shortening the PTO shaft. (See Figure 4.3)
