Coupling shaft
Use the correct coupling shaft
Only use coupling shafts complying with the manufacturer’s specifi-
cation for that specific use! In order to ensure protection of both man
and machine exercise extreme caution when working at a coupling
shaft other then described in this manual and/or on the instruction at
the coupling shaft.
Modification of, and other special jobs on coupling shafts, require
written explicit order and procedure of both machine and coupling
shaft manufacturer is available! Use the correct tools and original
parts to ensure a good performance and maximum safety. The use of
an incorrect coupling shaft can cause damage to the machine.
Mount the appropriate protection
Externally accessible coupling shafts, the tractor's PTO shafts and
machine input-axle must be equipped with appropriate guards and
tubes. Working without guarding can cause serious or deadly injuries.
Replace protective coupling shaft tubes when required
Replace the coupling shaft protection sleeves at the first signs of wear.
Protection sleeves can wear without being noticed.
Worn or damaged protection sleeves can cause serious or deadly
injuries.
Protect the PTO shaft end well
Slide the protection sleeve over the PTO shaft as soon as the coupling
shaft has been removed! Clothing could become entangled into an
unprotected PTO shaft end that could lead to serious injury.
Hydraulic system
Hydraulic oil is under high pressure
Never try to stop a leak with your fingers. Never try to locate a
hydraulic leak or try to contain it by hand! When inspecting always use
appropriate aid (e.g. a piece of wood or sheet metal) and wear safety
goggles, safety gloves and gloves! High pressure fluid easily
penetrates skin and clothes, causing severe injuries. In the event of
injury, contact your physician immediately!
Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic pressure of 200 bars
Prevent the pressure in the hydraulic system from exceeding 200 bars!
Working with higher pressure may damage your machine and result in
dangerous situations.
