Coupling the pto
drive shaft
Do not use a hammer
The pto drive shaft may not be mounted using a hammer or other
equivalent tools. Using these, the pto drive shaft can get seriously
damaged. A damaged pto can cause both machine and tractor
damages.
> Check, before coupling the pto drive shaft, if the pto drive shaft has
to be shortened
> Shorten the pto if necessary

> Ensure the tractor pto is clean and greased
> Couple the pto drive shaft at both tractor and machine side
> Ensure the shaft sliding ring catches with the slot of the pto
> Fit the chains to rigid positions at both tractor and machine to
prevent the protection covers from turning with the entire pto drive
shaft
