WARNING
The coupling shaft provided is too long for most types of
tractors
The coupling shaft must be cut to 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« below
and the below 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.
\
WARNING
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.
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
Mount the loose tractor section of the coupling shaft to the
tractor PTO shaft.
Attach the loose machine component of the coupling shaft to
the drive axle.
Manually align the two coupling shaft halves.
Check the length and adjust it as described below.
