5.6 Features of application of PTO shafts and cardan shafts
WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN PTO SHAFT IS ACTIVATED AND THE CARDAN
SHAFT OF THE IMPLEMENT COUPLED IS ROTATING. IN CASE THERE ARE PEOPLE IN
AREA OF OPERATION OF PTO SHAFT THEY OR THEIR CLOTH CAN BE CLAMPED BE-
TWEEN THE IMPLEMENT ROTATING PARTS AND OTHER MOVING MACHINERY, THAT
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT INJURY INCLUDING WITH FATAL OUTCOME, THEREFORE
BEFORE STARTING THE PTO SHAFT ENSURE THERE IS NO PEOPLE IN DANGEROUS
AREA BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND THE IMPLEMENT. WORKS ASSOCIATED WITH
MAINTENANCE SERVICES (ADJUSTMENT, GREASING AND ETC.), MOUNTING AND DIS-
MOUNTING OF THE CARDAN SHAFT SHALL BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE TRACTOR
PTO SHAFT AND ENGINE ARE DISABLED. BEFORE STARTING THE CARDAN SHAFT
MOUNTING, STOP THE ENGINE, GET THE IGNITION KEY OUT OF STARTER SWITCH
AND THE DEVICES, AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE!
ATTENTION: TRACTOR MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CARDAN
SHAFTS FAILURES OF THE IMPLEMENTS COUPLED. CARDAN SHAFTS SPECIFICA-
TIONS AND DESIGN ARE IN SPHERE OF RESPONSIBILITY OF THE IMPLEMENTS AND
CARDAN SHAFT MANUFACTURERS!
ATTENTION: WHEN USING THE REAR PTO WITH INDEPENDENT DRIVE EN-
GAGED, THE PTO SHAFT OF THE MACHINE COUPLED SHALL TRANSMIT THE NOM-
INAL TORQUE AT A SPEED OF AT LEAST 540 RPM OR 1000 RPM, DEPENDING ON
THE SET MODE!
ATTENTION: DO NOT USE THE CARDAN SHAFTS WITHOUT THE APPROPRI-
ATE PROTECTIVE DEVICES AND IF THEY ARE SELF-MANUFACTURED OR DAM-
AGED!
ATTENTION: BE CAREFUL WHEN COUPLING OF THE IMPLEMENTS WITH THE
CARDAN DRIVE: DEFLECTION ANGLES OF THE CARDAN SHAFT ARE LIMITED BY
THE TRACTOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, BY LIFTING DEVICE
GUIDING RODS OR TRACTOR WHEELS. DUE TO MUTUAL TOUCH-DOWN OF THE
CARDAN SHAFT AND OTHER STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS, SOME BREAKAGE OF
THE IMPLEMENT TRAILING APPLIANCE CAN OCCUR OR, FOR EXAMPLE, TRACTOR
TIRES OR THE CARDAN SHAFT DAMAGE!
ATTENTION: WHEN THE IMPLEMENT IS OPERATED WITH THE CARDAN
SHAFT THERE IS A HAZARD OF PROCESS MATERIAL OR THE IMPLEMENT COMPO-
NENTS RELEASE, THEREFORE IT IS NECESSARY TO OBSERVE SAFE DISTANCE!
When the implement cardan shaft is coupled to the PTO shaft end extension the
following rules and requirements shall be observed:
1. Check the engaged PTO shaft speed mode for compliance according to tractor PTO shaft
end
type and implement PRS installed, check the engaged rear PTO drive (continuous/ground-
speed) for compliance;
2. Before engagement detach the cardan shaft into two parts.
3. Inspect the cardan shaft, PTO shaft and PRS for absence of mechanical damage
and for completeness of the set. Clear the PTO shaft end
extensions of dirt when needed,
and lubricate it according to thelubrication chart, specified in the implement operation man-
ual.
4. The cardan shaft part having the icon of “Tractor” on it, shall be coupled to the PTO
shaft end extension, and the second part – to the implement PRS accordingly. Do not forget
to fasten contactor splined bushings on the PTO and PRS shaft ends properly: fastening
method shall be specified by the cardan shaft manufacturer.
