5.3 INSTALLING THE CARDAN SHAFT
THE MANUFACTURER GUARANTEES THAT THE CARDAN SHAFT, SUPPLIED WITH THE
MACHINE, IS SUITABLE FOR SAFELY SUPPORTING POWER ABSORPTION LEVELS
DURING WORK PROCESSES AS LONG AS ALL OPERATING AND USE CONDITIONS
ARE COMPLIED WITH.
WHEN THE CARDAN SHAFT IS REPLACED IT CAN BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER THAT
MEETS EC STANDARDS AND THAT IS SUITABLE FOR TRANSMITTING THE POWER
RATINGS INDICATED IN THE TABLE AT PARAGRAPH 4.1. CAREFULLY READ THE
INSTRUCTION BOOKLET THAT COMES WITH THE CARDAN SHAFT BEFORE
PERFORMING
THESE PROCEDURES.
WHEN FIRST INSTALLING THE CARDAN SHAFT:
Measure the distance K between the races of the P.T.O. push-buttons with the machine
rested on the ground and level and with the overgear axially aligned with the tractor
’s P.T.O.:
if the length of the cardan shaft that is supplied needs to be modified make sure that the
telescoping tubes overlap for a length that permits between 40 and 50 mm of play L at their
ends.
IMPORTANT:
THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE DONE THE FIRST TIME THE SHAFT IS INSTALLED, EVERY
TIME IT IS REPLACED AND EVERY TIME THE MACHINE IS INSTALLED ON ANOTHER
TRACTOR.
WARNING AFTER INSTALLING THE CARDAN SHAFT FASTEN ITS GUARD FROM BOTH
SIDES WITH THE SPECIFIC CHAINS.
IMPORTANT:
GREASE THE CARDAN SHAFT ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS GIVEN IN
THE CARDAN SHAFT’S
MANUAL.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER WORK WITH CARDAN SHAFTS WITHOUT THEIR SAFETY GUARDS
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET THAT COMES WITH THE CARDAN SHAFT WITH
CARE.
When the machine is put away for storage always set the cardan shaft on its specific support bracket S provided
on the three-point drawbar to avoid build-up of dirt or deformation or breakage of the protective guard.
