Whenever the machine is being coupled to a tractor for the rst time, you must observe the following
instructions:
► In the condition of maximum steering, the PTO shaft must not be completely closed in order to avoid damage to
the gearbox. If the PTO shaft is too long, shorten it as described in this paragraph.
► Make sure that the towing eyelet is positioned at the most appropriate height for coupling to the tractor. Otherwise,
adjust the height of the eyelet as required.
► Transport the PTO shaft in a horizontal position in order to prevent potential disengagement from causing
accidents or damaging the protections.
► Clean and lubricate the power takeo and the gearbox coupling.
► Lubricate the PTO shaft if necessary. Follow the indications supplied by the PTO manufacturer (see PTO Use
and Maintenance Manual).
► Using the tractor hydraulic lifting device, position the machine at the closest point between the respective power
takeos and check the length of the PTO shaft. The semi-shafts of the PTO shaft must be overlapped by at least
1/3 of their length in the maximum pulled-out position, and they must have a free span of at least 4 cm (1.57 in)
in the maximum pushed-in position.
► Check that the length of overlap between the shaped pipes is not less than 2/3 of the stroke with the
PTO shaft closed. Otherwise, cut the excess part of both the telescopic pipes (A) and the guards (B).
Cut both sides the same length.
