Shortening the PTO
shaft
Pull the PTO shaft apart and connect one half to the tractor PTO
shaft drive and one to the machine and secure them.
Place the two shaft halves next to each other and:
•
Check for a minimum of 250 mm overlap (b).
•
Check that the PTO shaft is not blocked
at one end (minimum distance (a) = 20 mm).
Shorten the slide tube and guard tube by the same dimension.
Deburr the ends of the tube.
Remove the swarf.
Grease the sliding surfaces well.
