15. Lift the machine up on the tractor's
hydraulics until both PTO stub shafts are
approximately in line. PTO angle may vary
between tractor makes - up to 17° above
horizontal is acceptable. Ensure there is enough
ground clearance below frame.
16. Check the machine is at the correct height
and level, ensuring both stabiliser bars are at an
equal length. Fit locking pins to both stabilisers.
Once the stabilising bars are correctly fitted,
lower the tractor hydraulics allowing all the
weight of the machine to be carried by the
stabiliser bars (use a pry bar to twist tube if
necessary).
17. If fitting the PTO shaft for the first time
measure and cut to the correct length.
Example: A (900mm minus 75mm)
18. Fit the PTO shaft connecting the tractor
output shaft to the machine input shaft
Warning
Always stop the engine and ensure the PTO
drive is disengaged before fitting the PTO.
