3.3.8 The calibration of the Cardan joint clutch/Shear Bolt must also be checked to be sure that
it carries out its, function correctly. It is advised to carry out this control at a specialized
centre. The clutches/Shear Bolts on the Cardan shaft normally supplied by KOEL are
calibrated to the maximum available load. It is advised to have the Cardan shaft;
Clutch/Shear Bolt checked by a specialist every 300 working hours or, if the work is
seasonal, on re-starting activity after the break.
3.4 CARDAN SHAFT ADAPTION
3.4.1 The Cardan shaft, supplied with the machine is of standard length. Therefore, it might be
necessary to adapt the Cardan shaft. In that case, before doing anything, consult the
Manufacturer for the eventual adaptation. Hitch the machine to the tractor and stabilize
the tractor's third point with the device set up for that purpose (bar, range, and so on).
3.4.2 Disengage the tractor's P.T.O. and turn off the engine. Connect the Driveline shaft to the
tractor's P.T.O. The connection is correct when the machine is horizontal in the operating
position. To achieve this, increase or decrease the length of the top bar of the hitch (B
Image E) so as to set the axis (X Image: E) of the housing's grooved ring nut parallel to the
ground.

Ÿ The two angles ( Fig. 4) formed by the fork axes and the axis of the sliding tubes will be
equal and must not, exceed 10°
Ÿ The sliding tubes (C Fig. 4) must overlap by at least 15 cm (Fig. 5).
