SHORTENING THE DRIVE SHAFT
When shortening the PTO shaft the four parts A, B, C and D
must be shortened equally. After shortening the tube and shaft
ends have to be filed off, cleaned of filings and lubricated.
DRIVE SHAFT LENGTH
1.
Ensure drive shaft (C) is the correct length to suit the
tractor.
CAUTION
A drive shaft to long will bottom out
when being lifted by the tractor causing
severe damage to the tractor or
machine.
2.
Ensure the drive shaft has a minimum of
150mm overlap as per photo.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be carried out on a regular basis.
This will extend the life of the machine and save any
unnecessary down time.
Things to check:
Covers
Check they are in place and serviceable.
Gearbox
Check oil is clean and filled to correct level.
NB
Change oil annually.
Grease Points
The external grease points should be greased before each use. The internal grease
points (under the covers) should be checked and greased every 50 hours operating
time.
Warning:
Do not attempt to work on the machine in any way without disconnecting the PTO
shaft from the tractor.
