7. Adjustments and operations
Reducing the cardan shaft length
If it is necessary, cut similar parts of the male and female shaft as well as the protection
covers. But before cutting the shaft, verify all possibilities of usage without reducing its length.
The length adjustment will be done when the distance between the equipment and
tractor do not allow coupling. Proceed as follows:
- First of all, disassemble the protection covers.
- Cut the hub and the solid bar (male and female)
in the desired measures. In order to do so, couple half
of the cardan in the tractor and half in the equipment,
placing the semi-cardans in parallel and in several
operating positions. Then, determine the correct length
and mark the cutting area.
- It is important to give finish working in the cut
parts. For this purpose, use a filer. Soon after, remove
the filing and lubricate the 'male' with a fine layer of
grease.
- Decrease the length of both protective covers,
using the cut tubes as a measure and clean the cut
residues.
- Then, assemble the cardan shaft, according to
the instructions on the next page.
- When using another tractor to work with the
spreader, verify the length of the cardan shaft again.
- The chains of the protection covers should be
fastened in the equipment and in the tractor, so that
they will not get loose during maneuvers.
