6.14 PTO Shaft adjustment & maintenance
The length of the PTO shaft is suitable for all known tractor conditions. However, before
the machine is operated for the first time with a new tractor combination, it must be
ensured that there is a minimum sliding clearance of 200 mm left during all angles
between the tractor and the machine. In a case where there is not sufficient sliding
clearance the shaft length must be adjusted according to the PTO shaft manufacturer’s
recommendations that are either attached to the PTO shaft or included with this manual
or both. Maximum 80° angle of movement should never be exceeded, otherwise
permanent damage will result (See Figure 6.l).
All PTO shaft grease points are to be serviced at 60 hour intervals.
NOTE: The drawbar bolts must be inspected every two weeks
The main drawbar bolts (A & B) along with hinge-bolt (C) must be
inspected once every two weeks.
