On Standard PTO shafts, the drawbar pin connecting the tractor & Pinto should be centred between the two universal
joints of the PTO shaft.

Important Factors when
Fitting the PTO Shaft
The following three factors must be
correct to avoid pump damage and
maximise PTO operating life:
1 When travelling straight ahead, the
point at which the sprayer drawbar
pin is joined to the trac tor should be
halfway between the universal
joints of a Standard PTO shaft, as
illustrated.
The tractor is then able to make
maximum turns with minimal
bending of the universals.
2 When the tractor is towing the
sprayer straight ahead, the two
telescopic sections of the power
take-off shaft are at maximum
extension.
When turning or crossing an
inversion, the telescopic shaft
sections close up.
3 The height difference between the
tractor PTO spline and the PTO
spline of Pinto should not be
more than 100mm.
This ensures PTO joint angles are
approx equal and do not exceed
limits. If greater than 100mm, a wide
angle (constant velocity) PTO should
be used. See Hitch height adjustment
instructions on page 2.10.

Heed the Operating Limits
of the Standard PTO Shaft
The standard Pinto is fitted with a
STANDARD PTO shaft.
The maximum intermittent turning
angles of the Standard PTO shaft is only
recommended where should not exceed
45° turning angle of the PTO.

Ensure that the drive shaft is the correct length to
avoid any "butt up" damage to the pump.
CAUTION
Pump warranty is not valid for damage caused
by incorrect PTO shaft mounting.

Follow the instructions below to fi t the PTO
shaft onto the Pinto after transit:
1 Remove the PTO shaft which is
strapped to the Pinto frame.
2 Check the PTO shaft has not been
damaged in transit.
3 Measure and fi t the PTO to the Pinto
ensuring the locking pin is correctly
located. Make sure you read and
understand “The important factors
for fi tting the PTO shaft” on the next
page.
4 Grease the universal joins and
telescoping shafts.
5 Fit the PTO to the Pinto ensuring the
locking pin is correctly located.
6 Before operating the drive shaft, be
sure that all safety guards are in
place.
