Primary PTO shaft

The tractor PTO stub must rotate at a speed of 1000 min

-1

.

Separate the two half PTO shafts and connect them to

the machine's input shaft and to the tractor PTO stub.

Check the length of the PTO shaft:

- When the PTO shaft is in its maximum overlap

position (retracted), tubes should not butt against the
yokes. As a safety measure, a clearance (L) of at least
25 mm (1’’) must be maintained.

- When the PTO shaft is in its maximum extended

position, the tube overlap must be more than
250 mm (10’’).

Never operate the PTO shaft at an angle X exceeding

30°.

Make sure that the PTO shaft is correctly
adjusted, to avoid premature wear and tear.

To avoid serious accidents, the PTO drive
shaft guards must be properly in place and
fixed with the chains provided.

Immediately replace any worn or damaged
guard.
