6.2.7 Primary PTO shaft
When optional equipment is used, follow specific
procedures mentioned in the related section:
Chain stroke limiter.
- Make sure that the PTO shaft is correctly
adjusted, to avoid premature wear and tear.
- Check overlap of the u-joint drive shaft and
adjust length if necessary to avoid any
premature wear.
The tractor PTO must rotate at a speed of 540 or
1000 rpm.
The direction of rotation is shown on a decal.
Separate the two half PTO shafts and connect them
to the machine's input shaft and to the tractor PTO
stub.
Check the length of the PTO shaft:
- When the PTO shaft is in its maximum overlap
position (retracted), tubes should not butt against
the yokes.
- There must still be a minimum safety travel (L) of
25 mm (1’’).
- When extended to the maximum, the tube overlap
must not be below 250 mm (10’’).
