Checking the
coupling shaft length
Put the machine on a supporting beam before moving in between
the tractor and machine
This will ensure that the machine cannot drop if the power lift should
inadvertently be operated while you are between the tractor and
machine. Without the support, a power lift that drops could wedge you
in, resulting in possible serious physical injury.
The length of the coupling shaft and the shortening thereof must be
done after the power lift has been connected, but before the coupling
shaft has been connected.
Lift the machine with the power lift until the PTO shaft and the
machine drive axle are level.
This is the shortest possible length between the two shafts.
Place the machine on a supporting beam.
Switch the tractor engine off and remove the keys from the ignition.
Engage the parking brake of the tractor.
Disconnect the coupling shaft for it to be two halves.
Mount the loose tractor section of the coupling shaft to the tractor
PTO shaft.
Attach the loose machine component of the coupling shaft to the
drive axle.
Manually move the two coupling shaft halves next to each other.
Check the length and adjust it as described below.
Shortening the coupling
shaft
The profiled tubes must overlap as far as possible, with a minimum of
150 mm.
The profiled tubes must however have at least 25 mm free clearance
at the outer edges when the tractor PTO shaft and the machine drive
axle are level.
Cut off the two profiled tubes to achieve the 25 mm clearance.
De burr both ends.
Clean the coupling shaft.
Shorten the protection sleeves by the same length.
Slide the coupling shaft halves into each other.
Connect the coupling shaft of the machine and the tractor.
Lift the machine with the power lift in the highest operating position.
