Mounting the
coupling shaft
The coupling shaft provided is too long for most types of tractors
The coupling shaft must be made the correct length before connecting
it to the tractor. A coupling shaft that is too long could lead to serious
damage to the machine and the tractor.
See the paragraph »Checking the coupling shaft length«, and
the paragraph »Shortening the coupling shaft«.
During lifting and lowering of the power lift, the coupling shaft requires
adequate space for
•
sliding in and out,
•
sufficient overlap between the profiled tubes when driving the
machine in the extreme operating angle of the coupling shaft.
Connect the machine to the tractor but keep the coupling shaft
loose!
See chapter »Hitching to the tractor« on page 67.
Checking the
coupling shaft length
Put the machine on a supporting beam before moving in between
the tractor and machine
This will ensure that the machine cannot drop if the power lift should
inadvertently be operated while you are between the tractor and
machine. Without the support, a power lift that drops could wedge you
in, resulting in possible serious physical injury.
NOTE!
The length of the coupling shaft and the shortening thereof must be
done after the power lift has been connected, but before the coupling
shaft has been connected.
Lift the machine with the power lift until the PTO shaft and the
machine drive axle are level.
This is the shortest possible length between the two shafts.
Place the machine on a supporting beam.
Switch the tractor engine off and remove the keys from the ignition.
Engage the parking brake of the tractor.
Disconnect the coupling shaft for it to be two halves.
Remove the protection sleeves
Mount the loose tractor section of the coupling shaft to the tractor
PTO shaft.
