Adapting cardan shaft
Compare both cardan shaft halves to determine the cor-
rect length.
1. Separate the cardan shaft
2. Fit one half to the tractor
3. Fit the other half to the machine
Cutting to length procedure
- To adapt the length, hold cardan shaft halves side by
side in the shortest operating position (L2) and mark.
Caution!
• Note the maximum operating length (L1)
- Try for the greatest possible tube overlap (min. 1/2
X)
• Shorten the inner and outer safety tube equally
• Attach overload protection (2) to the machine!
• Always check that cardan shaft locks are securely
engaged before starting work.
Safety chain
- Use chain to prevent cardan shaft safety tube from
rotating.
Ensure sufficient swivel space for the cardan shaft!
- Trim the safety chain so that it cannot wind around the
cardan shaft.
Be ad-
vised!
Only use the spec-
ified cardan shaft
or the cardan
shaft supplied
