Length of
PTO shaft
The length of the PTO shaft was selected at the factory to suit almost
all types of tractor. Only in exceptional cases is a correction of the PTO
shaft length required on individual tractors. Check the length of the
PTO shaft on each tractor prior to first use.
A manufacturer's operator’s manual for the PTO shaft is enclosed.
This includes detailed information on the relevant version of the PTO
shaft and must be observed.
Safety
Checking the length
of the PTO shaft
Couple the machine to the tractor without the PTO shaft.
Lower the lower link of the tractor.
Set the combination (tractor and machine) to the smallest steering
angle.
Shut off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition key
and secure the tractor against rolling away.
\ WARNING
Switch off the tractor and secure it
Before you dismount:
Disengage the PTO
Lower all implements to the ground
Place all controls in their neutral or park position
Set the parking brake
Switch off the tractor.
Remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor against rolling away.
An unsecured tractor can run you over or trap you.
Otherwise, serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Checking the angle of lock
The PTO shaft has a wide hinge joint giving the tractor a steering
angle of up to 80°. Make sure that the PTO shaft is not damaged
during sharp cornering. This would result in damage to the
machine.
Correct length
A PTO shaft that is too long must not be used. This would result in
damage to the drive bearings of the tractor and the machine.
