shaft has been adapted!

The PTO shaft must be switched off before any, maintenance, repair and assembly work is
carried out on the rotary tedder. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure
the tractor and rotary tedder to prevent them from rolling!

When raising the rotary tedder, no persons must be allowed to enter the area between the
rotary tedder and the tractor.
In order to adjust the length of the PTO shaft, first pull it
apart. Push one half of the shaft (1) and (2) onto the
tractor and attachment respectively. Use the rear
hydraulics to move the rotary tedder into the position in
which the PTO shaft is shortest. Hold the halves next to
each other and measure them. For the procedure for
measuring and shortening the shaft, please refer to the
operating manual of the PTO shaft manufacturer.
