5.11.1 Couple propeller shaft to tractor
1. Secure the tractor against accidental
starting and rolling.
2. Clean and lubricate the p.t.o. shaft on the
tractor.
3. Start the tractor engine.
4. Hitch the machine to the tractor.
5. Secure the tractor against accidental
starting and rolling.
6. Check whether the p.t.o. shaft has been
switched off.
7. Release the p.t.o. shaft brake at the tractor
if necessary.
8. Slip the propeller shaft fork onto the p.t.o
shaft of the tractor until the locking
mechanism noticeably engages. When
coupling the propeller shaft, observe the
included operating instructions for the
propeller shaft.
9. Secure the propeller shaft guard at the
tractor and at the machine against rotating
by means of the clip chains (1):
9.1 Fix the clip chains at right angles to the
propeller shaft if possible.
9.2 Fix the clip chains such that a
sufficient swivelling range of the
propeller shaft is ensured in any
operating state. Clip chains must not
get entangled in tractor or machine
components.
10. Ensure that there is sufficient free space
around the propeller shaft in any operating
state. Insufficient free space will lead to
damage on the propeller shaft.

CAUTION
Risk of burns due to contact with hot propeller shaft
components!
Do not touch considerably warmed-up propeller shaft components
(particularly do not touch any couplings).
Clean and lubricate the propeller shaft before longer downtimes.
