P.T.O. SHAFT
These recommendations and adjustments must be respected to avoid damage or premature wear of
the PTO.
Never connect the PTO to the
1000 rpm tractor drive
.
To avoid accidents which could be serious, make sure that the guards are always correctly in place
and secured with the safety chains (x) (photo 22). Damaged guards should be replaced immediately.
Connect the PTO shaft
to the 540 rpm tractor drive
(with the free wheel fitted on the machine side).
Make sure PTO length is correct :
1° When the PTO is in its maximum extended position, a minimum tube overlap of 250 mm (10") must be maintained.
2° When the PTO is in its maximum overlap position (retracted), tubes should not butt against the yokes. As a safety
measure a clearance of at least 10 mm (2/5") must be maintained. If this is not the case, shorten the two
transmission tubes and the two guard tubes by the same length (photos 18 and 19). Bevel and clean the tubes
(photo 20) and grease the inside of the outer tube (photo 21).
3° Never operate the PTO at too great an angle (30° maximum) (photo 22).
