SHORTENING THE PTO SHAFT
Particular caution is required when shortening the PTO shaft. If the PTO drive shaft is
shortened too much, there is a risk that the profile tubes may be pulled
may cause serious damage.
This particularly applies in connection with operation on hilly ground, when the
machine and the tractor have varying angles in relation to each other. Conversely, if
the PTO drive shaft is not shortened enough, there is a risk of squeezing during
sharp turns, which may cause high frictional forces in the PTO drive shaft, which in
turn will damage the axle joints.
Fig. 2-13 Fasten the halves of the shaft to PTO and PIC (fig. 2.11) respectively when these are
immediately opposite each other with the machine in the operating position. (The
longest distance on this machine). Hold the shaft ends parallel to each other and
mark the desired amount to be shortened, but with an overlap of no less than 200
mm. Shorten all four tubes by the same amount.
Round off the ends of the tube profiles and carefully remove any burrs. It is very
important that the tubes are smooth and clean prior to lubrication. Lubricate the tubes
carefully before reassembling.

2. CONNECTING TO THE TRACTOR
Fig. 2-13
To avoid bottoming the shaft, never turn so sharply that there is
less than the prescribed 30 mm distance. See measurement a in
fig. 2-11.
If the PTO drive shaft bottoms when turning sharply, there is a
risk that the shaft and/or other transmission parts will be
damaged.
