too short in any position.
The PTO length is suitable, if the pipes do not reach
the bottom.
PTO is optional equipment.

• First cut the thicker cover to a correct lenght (1). Re-
member 20 mm (0.78") clearance. Then cut away
the same amount from the form pipe. Make a simi-
lar shortening to the second half of the PTO shaft.
Remove the burr with the file.
• Connect the PTO shafts within each other. Make
sure by moving eevator carefully up and down
