Propeller shaft
The power transmission between tractor and machine is effected by means of the propeller shaft.
WARNING
Risk to people of becoming entangled and wound up due to an
unsecured propeller shaft or damaged protective devices!
Never use the propeller shaft without protective device or with a
damaged protective device or without proper handling of the clip
chain.
Before starting operation, always check:
all protective devices of the propeller shaft for proper
mounting and functioning,
whether there is sufficient free space around the propeller
shaft in any operating state. Insufficient free space will lead
to damage on the propeller shaft.
Immediately have damaged or missing parts of the propeller
shaft replaced by original parts from the propeller shaft
manufacturer.
Observe the fact that only an authorized workshop is allowed to
repair a propeller shaft.
WARNING
Risk to people of becoming entangled and wound up due to
unprotected propeller shaft parts within the power transmission
area between the tractor and the powered machine!
Only carry out work with the drive unit between tractor and powered
machine completely protected.
The unprotected parts of the propeller shaft must always be
protected by means of a protective cover mounted on the tractor
and a protective sleeve mounted on the machine.
Check whether the protective cover mounted on the tractor or
the protective sleeve mounted on the machine and the safety
and protective devices of the extended propeller shaft overlap by
at least 50 mm. If not, the machine must not be powered via the
propeller shaft.
Proper use and maintenance of the propeller shaft prevent
serious accidents.
When coupling the propeller shaft, observe:
the admissible drive speed of the machine,
the correct driving direction of the propeller shaft,
the correct fitting length of the propeller shaft, see chapter
"Adjust length of propeller shaft to tractor", page 69,
the correct fitting position of the propeller shaft. The tractor
symbol on the protective tube of the propeller shaft
indicates the propeller shaft connection at the tractor.
Before switching the propeller shaft on, observe the safety
instructions for propeller shaft operation.
