up/maintenance.
Attach the PTO driveline checking that it correctly meshes at both ends. If a shear bolt or slip clutch
safety system is used on the PTO shaft this must be mounted on the implement end. Check that the
PTO driveline is the correct length. The minimum overlap must be 180mm (6 inches) when working
and the driveline must be able to travel at least 25mm (1 inch).
Always couple the two ends of the driveline and check they are locked in place. Completely insert the
sprung lock pins
1
into the grooves in the PTO shaft on both the tractor and machine sides.
The working speed of the machine should always be at a slow walking pace (approx. 1 to 3 mph)
depending on the working conditions. Areas with denser stones and soils should be worked at a much
slower pace. The working depth can be adjusted using the rear roller on the machine as required [see
section on adjusting the tilling depth]
.
Check your PTO shaft’s grease points and apply grease if needed. Then attach the PTO drive shaft and
ensure the locking pin is secure on both the tractor and mower sides. Attach the chain to a secure
point on the tractor/implement.
Operate the machine with the tractor in low range gear and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
