Length of
PTO shaft
The length of the PTO shaft was selected at the factory to suit almost
all types of tractor. Only in exceptional cases is a correction of the PTO
shaft length required on individual tractors. Check the length of the
PTO shaft on each tractor prior to first use.
A manufacturer's operator’s manual for the PTO shaft is enclosed.
This includes detailed information on the relevant version of the PTO
shaft and must be observed.

Checking the length
of the PTO shaft

Couple the machine to the tractor without the PTO shaft.


angle.


WARNING
Switch off the tractor and secure it
Before you dismount:

Disengage the PTO

Lower all implements to the ground

Place all controls in their neutral or park position

Set the parking brake

Switch off the tractor.

Remove the ignition key.

Secure the tractor against rolling away.
An unsecured tractor can run you over or trap you.
Otherwise, serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Checking the angle of lock
The PTO shaft has a wide hinge joint giving the tractor a steering
angle of up to 80°. Make sure that the PTO shaft is not damaged
during sharp cornering. This would result in damage to the
machine.
Correct length
A PTO shaft that is too long must not be used. This would result in
damage to the drive bearings of the tractor and the machine.
