Before using the machine for the first time:

• Check overlap of the u-joint drive shaft
and adjust length if necessary to avoid
any premature wear.
The direction of rotation is shown on a decal.
The tractor PTO stub must rotate at a speed of
540 min
-1
.
- 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:
• Check the maximum overlap when the machine
is in work position and the tractor turned to the
direction which provides maximum overlap.
• When the PTO shaft is in its maximum overlap
position (retracted), tubes should not butt against
the yokes. Keep a minimum safety travel L of
25 mm (1’’).
• When extended to the maximum, the tube
overlap must not be below 250 mm (10’’).
