First of all, verify the length of the cardan shaft in the following way:
• Separate the cardan shaft and couple the 'female' part to the PTO.
• Steer the tractor wheel until it touches the rotary cutter drawbar.
• Couple the 'male' part to the rotary cutter. Being the bars placed side by side, verify
the existence of a minimum free space of five centimeters between the male and female
part in each end.
At this time, the adjustment range of the tractor drawbar can be used for
shortening it or lenghtening it.
NOTE
If it is necessary, cut similar parts of the male and female drive shaft as well as the
protecting covers. But before cutting the shaft, verify all possibilities of usage without
reducing its length.
The length adjustment will be done when the distance between the equipment and
the tractor do not allow coupling. Proceed as follows:
5 cm
5 cm
• First of all, disassemble the protecting covers.
• Cut the hub and the solid bar (male and female) in the
desired measures. In order to do so, couple half of the cardan in
the tractor and half in the equipment, placing the semi-cardans
in parallel and in several operating positions. Then, determine
the correct length and mark the cutting area.
