The angle defining the maximum joint bends in a universal joint
on the PTO shaft can be found in the accompanying operating
manual provided by the manufacturer.
This manual also contains information on fitting and mainte-
nance that must be observed.
To avoid damage, only connect the universal joint shaft slowly
when the tractor engine is running at low revs.

Groundkeeper / HorseHopper transmission input speed
The gearbox on the Groundkeeper / HorseHopper is equipped with a
universal joint shaft connection. The machine must be powered with a
maximum drive speed of 540 rpm:
Drive speed n = 540 rpm.
Drive speeds higher than specified will cause the rotor to turn at
a significantly higher speed. In extreme cases, this may lead to
blades being released which could endanger personnel and
damage property.
Warranty claims for damage which can be traced back to an ex-
cessively high drive speed of the universal joint shaft will not be
recognised.
