• Decrease the length of both protective covers, using the
cut tubes as a measure and clean the cut residues.
• After that, assemble the cardan according to the assembly
instructions on the following page.
• When using another tractor to work with the equipment,
verify the length of the cardan shaft again.
NOTE The contact surface between the hub and the bar shall not be smaller than 1/3 of
the total length.
When assembling the cardan shaft, it is necessary to be careful and leave the terminals
on both ends aligned. The discrepancy of the terminals in 90° will cause vibrations and a
greater wear on the universal joints, reducing the lifetime of the set.
When coupling the cardan to the tractor PTO, fasten the chain on a fixed point
of the tractor so that the cardan shaft cover do not turn and do not get loose
during maneuvers.
NOTE
