    PTO shaft Only use the PTO shaft prescribed by the manufacturer: • Walterscheid W 2300 with or without free-wheel for tractors up to 40 HP max. • Walterscheid W 2400 with or without free-wheel for tractors from 40 HP onwards. Should you have a tractor without independent power take-off, you must use a PTO shaft with free-wheel.
  • Page 25 ill. 8a During first installation attach the other PTO shaft half on the power take-off profile of the tractor without fitting the PTO shaft guards into each other. By holding both PTO shaft guards side by side check whether a sliding profile overlapping of the PTO shaft tubes of at least 40 % L0 (length 0) is guaranteed both for a lowered and for a lifted three-point linkage coupled machine.

  • Page 26: Input Pto On The Kmls Gear Box (For Machines With Simple Gearbox)

    To adapt the length, hold the PTO shaft halves side by side in their shortest operating position and mark them. 4+5.Equally shorten the internal and the external protective tubes. Round off parting edges and carefully remove chips. Grease sliding profiles and fit them into each other. The holding chains have to anchored in such a way that the construction is stable and the PTO shaft protection does not follow the rotating movement during operation.

  • Page 27: Hydraulic Connections

    Speeds of the driving motor which are higher than indicated lead to a considerably higher rotor speed. In extreme cases, this might result in the detachment of cutters possibly endangering the operating personnel. Guarantee claims for damages due to a too high speed of the driving motor of the power take-off shaft will not be accepted.

In order to scarify, each hook bolt is fitted with a straight scarifying knife (ill. 19). ill. 19 When scrarifying make sure that all the brushes are taken off the rotor ! The scarifying knives are reversible and so when worn out, they can be used on the opposite side.
  • Page 35 Blockages can occur in the shaft if the hopper is filled above its capacity, this blockage will clear when the hopper is emptied. When the machine is used only as a sweeper, set the working height as follows : Collection of grass or dead leaves on a lawn The brushes, according to the collection conditions, should never cause damage to the lawn but lightly touch it, working at a height of 3 to 4 cm off the ground.

  • Page 36: Scarifying

    Scarifying Rejuvenation should always be carried out at the start or finish of the growing season. In order to scarify a lawn surface where moss and old grass cuttings have built up, it is possible to cut, scarify and collect simultaneously in one pass. When scarifying the rotor must rotace twice as fast as when sweeping.
