Cardan Shaft Connection - R2 MTZ Series Instruction And Maintenance Manual

6.3 – Cardan shaft connection
Once the machine has been fitted on to the tractor, verify the exact length of the cardan shaft. For a
safety function of the cardan shaft, it is very important to check that in the different working positions
the drive hoses fit in half of their length and never less than 1/3 of their llength (Fig.8); repeat this
control when the MILL GRADER when it is fitted to another tractor.
When fitting the cardan shaft, be sure that the bolt or push-button on both sides are well locked (Fig.9
- Ref.A).
Lock the cardan protections with the suitable chain to avoid them from turning during the motion drive
(Fig. 10).
To reduce the cardan wear ( and increase the length of life) limit the working angle maximum to 15°
(fig. 11).
Read carefully the cardan
booklet before the connection. . Make the
operations
devices for each person.
-It is forbiddden to use the cardan without the protections It is necessary to replace the cardan
protections once they are worn out.
- In order that the cardan and their components last longer, when the machine is not working ,
anchor the cardan to the hook so that it does not touch the ground (Fig. 12 – Ref. A. It is expected
that the MILL GRADER MTZ is used with a shear bolt torque limiter(Fig. 13 – Ref. A) to avoid
meccanical overloads in case the machine blocks . The cardan mut be connected with the clutch
from the side of the MILL GRADER .
Cardan type: CE type 4 for nominal horse-power up to 35 HP at 540 r.p.m. with shear bolt torque
limiter M8x50 DIN 931 – 8.8.
The use of cardans with different characteristics than the ones supplied and the use of shear bolt
torque limiters different from the ones indicated , excludes the GUARANTEE automatically.
