Connecting to the tractor

Connecting the
coupling shaft
The coupling shaft provided is too long for most types of tractors
The coupling shaft must be cut to the correct length before connecting
it to the tractor.
A coupling shaft that is too long could lead to serious damage to the
machine and the tractor.
See section »Checking the coupling shaft length« on page 65 and
section »Shortening the coupling shaft« on page 65.
Check the PTO shaft and the connector for dirt or damage.
Press the safety plate into the connector.
Slide the connector onto the PTO shaft.
Let go of the safety plate.
Check if the safety plate latches by moving the connector.
Attach the check chains to both outer edges of the coupling shaft
protection sleeves.
Mount the other ends of the chains to a fixed point of the tractor,
respectively the machine.
During lifting and lowering of the power lift, the coupling shaft requires
adequate space for
•
sliding in and out,
•
sufficient overlap between the profiled tubes when driving the
machine in the extreme operating angle of the coupling shaft.
Tip
The maximum operating angle of the coupling shaft is 30
°
when lifted
and 30
°
when lowered. The maximum distance allowed between the
PTO shaft of the tractor and the driving axle of the machine is reached
in this position. A greater working angle could damage the coupling
shaft.
