5.6 Attaching the machine to a 540 rpm PTO
All mechanical functions are related to the correct PTO speed. Follow the instructions
as supplied with the PTO unit for correct assembling of the PTO shaft to the tractor.
(See ‘PTO shaft adjustment & maintenance’). Ensure PTO cover guards are prevented
from rotating, by securing the chain to the tractor.
5.7 Making connections to the tractor
The following connections to the machine are required for attachment behind the
tractor:
1. ½” male quick-release for feed line
2. ½” male quick-release for return line (The return line must have a free flow to
the tank)
3. 12 V / 7-pin lighting socket
4. 12 V, 20 A socket (machine loom to control box shown)
See the following image for possible hosing layout. Ensure that the machine operator
is familiar with all tractor connections and fittings.
CAUTION: Standard PTO of 540 rpm, maximum = 610 rpm
The machine should be driven with a standard PTO speed of 540 rpm.
The maximum PTO speed allowed = 610 rpm. A PTO speed above
610 rpm is likely to cause damage to machine components. Do not use
any faster PTO speed other than specified above!
WARNING: Measure distance between PTO stub shafts first
Never connect a PTO shaft on a new machine/tractor combination
without first measuring the shortest distance between PTO stub shafts,
otherwise severe damage can occur.
WARNING: Turn off tractor and remove key before connecting
hydraulic hosing
When connecting hydraulic hosing to the tractor, ensure that the tractor
engine is turned off and that the ignition key is removed. Ensure that all
hydraulic connections are correctly tightened.
