5.4.1 Coupling the PTO shaft
1. Clean and grease the universal joint shaft on the tractor and the
gearbox input shaft of the machine.
2. Couple the tractor to the machine.
3. Secure the tractor against unintentional starting and unintention-
al rolling away.
4. Check whether the universal joint shaft is switched off.
5. Couple the PTO shaft to the universal joint shaft of the tractor.
When coupling the PTO shaft, observe the instructions of the

This protects the PTO shaft from damage and dirt.
Never use the supporting chain of the PTO shaft to suspend the
uncoupled PTO shaft.
• Clean and lubricate the PTO shaft if it will not be used for an
extended period.
1. Switch off the universal joint shaft.
2. Lower the machine onto the ground.
3. Secure the tractor and machine against
