Connecting the transmission shaft
Initial installation of the driveshaft may involve having to cut the axle to
adapt it to the tractor to which it will be hitched. To hitch it for the first
time, proceed as follows:
1.
Attach the mistblower to the tractor in such a way that the
distance between the PTO shaft and the mistblower pump is the
shortest possible.
2.
Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
3.
If the driveshaft needs to be shortened, pull the two parts of the
shaft apart. Fit the two parts of the shaft, one to the tractor and the
other to the mistblower crankshaft and measure out the length
that needs to be removed. Mark the protection guards.
μ
ATTENTION! The shafts must always have a minimum overlap of
one third of their working length.
4.
Cut both parts equally, using a saw. File the profiles afterwards to
remove burrs.
5.
Grease the profiles and reassemble male fitting and female fitting.
6.
Fit the shaft to the tractor PTO and to the mistblower pump shaft.
7.
Place the input part towards the tractor. Fit the chains to prevent
the protection guards from rotating with the shaft.
μ
ATTENTION! To ensure long life of the driveshaft and prevent
possible damage to the equipment, try to avoid working at
angles of more than 15°.
