5.1 Adjust the Length of the PTO Shaft
To avoid damage to or reduction of the lifetime of the PTO shaft, the
PTO shaft must not be extended over its maximum permissible length.
Requirements
• Marker
• Tape measure
• Saw
Procedure
1. Fit the lower arms of the tractor’s three-point hitch to the lower
linkage pins of the headstock.
2. Fit the top link of the tractor to the top linkage pin of the
headstock.
3. Lift / lower the headstock so that the connection points for the PTO
shaft on the tractor and on the rake are at the same height. The
distance between the PTO shaft connection points on the tractor
and on the rake is now at its minimum.
4. Make sure the PTO is disengaged, the tractor engine is stopped and
the key is removed from the tractor.
5. Pull off the inner half of the PTO shaft from the outer half.
6. Connect both ends of the PTO shaft to the tractor and to the rake:
• Connect the outer half of the PTO shaft to the tractor.
• Connect the inner half of the PTO shaft to the rake.
7. Position both halves so that these are parallel.
8. In this position make a mark on the outer safety guard tube (see
figure 10 on page 5-2).
9. Make a second mark on a distance B = 40 mm (1.6 in) from the first
mark.
10. Disconnect the outer shaft half from the tractor.
11. Disconnect the inner shaft half from the rake.
12. Cut off the outer safety guard tube at the second mark (see figure
11 on page 5-2).
13. Cut off the same length from the inner safety guard tube.
14. Cut of the same length from the inner and outer PTO shaft halves.
