Using the smaller of the 2 measurements in
and
, subtract that distance
from the distance in
. Example: 81 cm
(32 inches) minus 67 cm (26-1/2 inches) equals
14 cm (5-1/2 inches).
8.
The example measurements show that the shaft
is 14 cm (5-1/2 inches) too long. Add an extra
1.2 cm (1/2 inch) to ensure that the PTO shaft
does not bottom out when you lift the aerator
to its highest position.

Fully slide together the PTO shaft tubes. Verify
that the
inside
tube does not protrude into the
cross and bearing section of the outer tube
(
). If this happens, you need to cut off
more
of the inside tube—proceed to next step.
10.
Measure the distance the inside tube protrudes
into the cross and bearing section of the outer
tube (
). Add this distance to the
dimension attained in step 8.
