5.2. Connecting the articulated telescopic shaft (ATS)

The machine is delivered with a separate instruction manual for PTO shafts.
Prior to commencing operation, examine and adjust length of PTO shaft, which is designed to
mount machine on tractor. In some cases it is possible, that the shaft is too long and therefore needs
to be shortened, so that there is adequate tolerance for the shortest possible distance between tractor's
shaft and machine's shaft.
PTO shaft's end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower's side.
When connecting PTO shaft between tractor and mower make sure that external guard tube of
the shaft is on the tractor's side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their
small chains to immovable parts of tractor and mower. The PTO shaft must operate at the lowest
possible angle. This will ensure that both shaft and the machine last as long as possible.
WARNING:
Before the operation begins, read operator's manuals of both the machine
and PTO shaft.
WARNING:
If need be shorten PTO shaft as provided in corresponding shaft operator's
manual (Fig. 10).
