5.14.1 Couple propeller shaft to tractor
1. Clean and lubricate the p.t.o. shaft on the
tractor.
2. Hitch the machine to the tractor.
3. Check whether the p.t.o. shaft has been
switched off.
4. Slip the locking mechanism of the propeller
shaft onto the p.t.o.shaft of the tractor until it
noticeably engages. When coupling the
propeller shaft, observe the included
operating instructions for the propeller shaft.
5. Secure the propeller shaft guard at the
tractor and at the machine against rotating
by means of the clip chains (1):
5.1 Fix the clip chains at right angles to the
propeller shaft if possible.
5.2 Fix the clip chains such that a
sufficient swivelling range of the
propeller shaft is ensured in any
operating state. Clip chains must not
get entangled in tractor or machine
components.
6. Ensure that there is sufficient free space
around the propeller shaft in any operating
state. Insufficient free space will lead to
damage on the propeller shaft.

5.14.2 Uncouple propeller shaft from tractor
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to contact with hot propeller shaft
components!
Do not touch considerably warmed-up propeller shaft components
(particularly do not touch any couplings).
Clean and lubricate the propeller shaft before longer downtimes.
1. Pull the propeller shaft locking mechanism
off the tractor's p.t.o.shaft.
2. Place the propeller shaft onto the respective
holder (1).
