Coupling of this machine to a tractor can be done as an attachment in the three-
point linkage. Let the bottom draw rods sink until they are levelled with the
concerned connecting pins. Drive the tractor carefully back to the machine hinge.
While coupling the chipper no person is allowed to stand between the
chipper and the tractor
Attach the bottom draw rods of the three-point linkage and lock its pins by cotters
or put the pin through the draw rod ball. Lock the pin/draw rod against loosening.
Plug the electric supply cables of the machine in the socket for a portable
lamp on the tractor rear. This socket is intended for power supply of the
control unit.
Cardan Shaft Adjustment
Before use it is necessary to check up cardan shaft adjustment as to
its proper length. The cardan shaft length must be always adapted to
the given tractor type.
Check up the cardan shaft length as follows:
- Couple the machine in the top and bottom draw rods of the tractor three-point
linkage.
- Lift up the linkage (for adjustment the machine must be lifted in its top
position) so that the PTO shaft and the input shaft on the machine are
approximately levelled and the cardan shaft is squeezed utmost.
- Measure the distance between safety splines on both shafts.
- Press both ends of the cardan shaft together by hand as much as possible and
measure the distance between both safety pins on the cardan shaft.
- The distance measured on the cardan shaft should be shorter at least by
20 mm than that between two safety splines on both shafts (input and
PTO shaft). Should this length be longer, the cardan shaft should be
shortened accordingly, see instructions of the cardan shaft manufacturer.
It is not allowed to use such a cardan shaft, if its length
(distance between two safety pins), is longer than that
measured between safety splines on the input and PTO shafts.
Otherwise it may bring damage on the shaft or even on the
