Weasler 100 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 2

1. General
This instruction manual should be read completely by the user before starting to use
the Weasler PTO drive shaft. Also read the instruction handbook of recipient
machinery. Be certain that only a properly trained and physically able person will
install and maintain the drive shaft.
It is not allowed to use the PTO drive shaft without guard, with a damaged guard or
without using the restraining members correctly attached. A PTO drive shaft guard
restraining system is required in the European Union (EU) countries. Worn or
damaged parts have to be replaced with original Weasler parts. Do not expose
guarded parts of the shaft by cutting or enlarging the grease access holes. Do not
step on, over or under a PTO drive shaft.
PTO drive shafts and (safety) clutches have to match the power take off and the
machine type. See the instructions with your machine for recommended type and
size of shaft and clutches. Overload can cause damage. See also table 1 for nominal
load for each design drive shaft. Do not operate above recommended speeds.
It is not allowed to connect clutches to the tractor PTO in the European Union (EU)
countries.
After operation, parts of the PTO drive shafts (e.g. clutches) can reach high
temperatures. Do not touch!
No device (e.g. adaptors) shall be installed between the tractor PTO and the PTO
drive shaft. Except length adjustment, no changes may be made to the PTO drive
shaft and its guard. Always make sure machine is completely shut down if working
around, on, or removing blockages.
A PTO drive shaft transmits power from the tractor to the implement. The main
components of a PTO drive shaft are mentioned in Figure 1.
