remove the key from the ignition.
4.1
Checks to be performed before use.
•
Check the gear drive for leaks.
•
Check the tire pressure. (4.5 Bar)
•
Check the length of the PTO shaft (see 4.2)
•
Check the protective cover of the PTO shaft for cracks.
•
Check that the safety chains of the PTO shaft are mounted.
•
Check if the locking clips and safety cords are in place.
•
Check the drive chain for cracks and tears.
•
Check the tension of the drive chain and do so regularly while in use.
•
Check the harvest shaft for damage and wear.
•
Check the sieve belt and drive wheels for damage and wear.
4.2
Shortening the PTO shaft.
If it should appear during inspection that the PTO shaft is too long, it can be shortened as follows:
•
Connect the machine to the tractor
•
Position the PTO shafts together as short as possible.
•
Measure distance "A" of the PTO shafts.
•
Measure distance "B" of the PTO shafts.
(See the illustration for the measuring points)
•
Subtract length "A” from length "B"
•
Shorten the PTO shaft with the result (see example)
Calculation example:
A=400 mm
B=450 mm
B(450) - A(400) = 50 mm +10 mm
Trimming length = 60 mm
