(MIN.)
If the PTO shaft supplied with the machine is not being used, check that the
cowlings of the machine and of the tractor are overlapped on the protection of
the PTO shaft at least by the amount contemplated by the safety regulations
in force (50 mm/1.97 in).
Do not exceed a PTO shaft angle of 15°, since operating at more than 15° will reduce the
PTO shaft life by 75% and will invalidate the warranty.
If it is necessary to work with greater inclination angles, use PTO shafts with a double
homokinetic joint.
If the same equipment is used on di󰀨erent tractors (with and without Quick-Hitch), you
must use di󰀨erent drivelines.
A Quick-Hitch will change the distance between coupling-tractor and coupling-equipment.
Check the distance between the two couplers.
CAUTION
Use only PTO transmission shafts with unbroken protections.
The length of the PTO shaft must be suited to the type of tractor used.
When the PTO shaft is detached from the tractor power takeo󰀨, it must ALWAYS be placed on the support provided.
For correct and safe operation of the machine, use exclusively PTO shafts bearing the
CE mark.
CAUTION
Check the direction of rotation and the number of revs of the tractor p.t.o. before tting
the PTO shaft.
CAUTION
Before getting o󰀨 the tractor and before every operation, always engage the parking
brake and disengage the PTO. Turn o󰀨 the engine and remove the ignition key from the
dashboard.
CAUTION
Absolutely avoid going beyond the PTO shaft area (when PTO shaft is at a standstill or
when it is moving).
