Transmission shaft

Operator's safety

1. Always STOP ENGINE before attaching the transmission shaft to tractor P.T.O. - most tractor P.T.O. shafts can be rotated
by hand to facilitate spline alignment, when engine is stopped.
2. When attaching the shaft, make sure that the snap lock is FULLY ENGAGED - push and pull shaft until it locks.
3. Always keep protection guards and chains intact and make sure that it covers all rotating parts, including CV-joints at
each end of the shaft. Do not use without protection guard.
4. Do not touch or stand on the transmission shaft when it is rotating - safety distance: 5' (1.5 meter). Also NEVER cross
over a rotating P.T.O. shaft to reach the other side of the sprayer.
5. Prevent protection guards from rotating by attaching the chains allowing sufficient slack for turns.
6. Make sure that protection guards around tractor P.T.O. and implement shaft are intact.
7. Always STOP ENGINE and remove the ignition key before carrying out maintenance or repairs to the transmission shaft
or implement.

DANGER! ROTATING TRANSMISSION SHAFTS WITHOUT PROTECTION GUARDS ARE FATAL.

P.T.O. installation

Always read the manufacturer's instruction book before installation of
the transmission shaft!
First installation of the transmission shaft is done in the following way:
1. Attach sprayer to tractor and set sprayer height in the position with
shortest distance between the tractor and sprayer pump P.T.O.
shafts.
2. Stop engine and remove ignition key.
3. If transmission shaft must be shortened, the shaft is pulled apart.
Fit the two shaft parts at tractor and sprayer pump and measure
how much it is necessary to shorten the shaft. Mark the protection
guards.
±
WARNING! The shaft must always have an minimum overlap. The size of this overlap depends on the pump model.

DANGER! As P.T.O. shafts are dangerous, always read the manufacturer's instruction book before making any changes
