Fig. 11. Instruction of PTO shaft shortening
WARNING!
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and disconnected
from tractor PTO for transport and service.
WARNING!
When changing the tractor, with which the machine operates, control the length
of PTO shaft again, as otherwise the machine can be damaged.
WARNING!
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the work
begins, check the safety guards (in tractor, mower and PTO shaft), if they are
placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts must be replaced
with genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly mounted. It is forbidden
to approach the rotating parts, because it may lead to serious injuries or even
death. All service and repair operations must be done only after the tractor
engine has been stopped, all rotating parts have come to the complete standstill
and the cutterbar is on the ground. Before the operation begins, read operator’s
manuals of both the machine and PTO shaft.
WARNING!
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower’s side.
5.3. Preparing the mower for transport
To prepare the mower for transport and to meet safety precautions, please do the following:
❑ lift the mower with tractor hydraulic lift until the lower lift pins of the mower 3-point linkage frame
raise about 0.5 m / 1' 8'' above the ground (Fig. 13),
❑ lift support leg up and secure it with split cotter,
❑ remove the pin 1 and put it into the bush 2 (Fig. 10),
❑ lift the cutterbar by hydraulic cylinder vertically until the pawl G locks in (Fig. 10),
❑ secure the cutterbar against falling by the shut-off valve (Fig. 12) placed on the mower’s hydraulic
cylinder.
