2. Coupling the PTO drive shaft
Turn off the tractor completely! Clean and grease the tractor PTO and the machine
PIC (Power Input Connection). Attach the PTO drive shaft to the implement PIC
first and then to the tractor PTO. On the PTO drive shaft guard is indicated which
side of the shaft should be connected to the tractor (Fig. 2c). Return tractor PTO
master shield to operating position if moved for drive shaft attachment.
The end yokes of the PTO drive shaft can have the following means of attachment:
- QD-Pin (Fig. 3a): Press the pin in and simultaneously slide the PTO drive shaft
onto the PTO or PIC until the pin fully engages. Not to be used for ground driven
implements or type 1 (1 3/8-6 spline) front tractor PTO connections.
- Safety Slide or Spring Lock (Fig. 3b): Slide the yoke partially on the PTO or
PIC and then slide and hold the collar rearward. Then slide the yoke on the PTO
or PIC until the collar can be moved forward into the locked position.
- Auto-Lok (Fig. 3c): Slide the collar rearward until the collar locks in the rear
position. Then slide the yoke on the PTO / PIC until the collar clicks into the
locked position.
- Clamp-bolt (Fig. 3d): Remove the bolt out of the end-yoke. Slide the yoke onto
the PTO or PIC and assemble the bolt & nut (nut must trail direction of rotation).
The nut should be tighten sufficiently
5/8-11 = 204Nm).
Always double check if the end yokes are securely locked!
To avoid damage to the driveshaft guard, it may be necessary to remove the tractor
drawbar for mounted and semi-mounted implements and the lower links secured in
a suitable position for trailed machines.
3. Guarding
Check the guard of the PTO drive shaft and the PTO & PIC shield for damage.
Damaged or missing guards must be replaced before operating the machine! PIC
shield must fully enclose drive shaft on all sides up to first bearing on implement.
After connecting the PTO drive shaft to the implement, always check for sufficient
overlap between the PIC guard and the PTO drive shaft guard (see Fig. 4). Do not
operate if the overlap is less then this 50 mm when in a straight line.
Check the maximum distance between the end of the PTO drive shaft guard and the
axis of the locking device of the tractor yoke.
For a 1⅜ " 6 or 21 spline: C = 80 mm max. For a 1¾ " 20-spline: C = 90 mm max.
Tractor PTO master shield per ISO 500 requirements and clearance zones around
PTO must be maintained.
4. Restraining members
A drive shaft guard restraining system is required in the European Union (EU)
countries. Chains must be securely attached to the PTO & PIC shield designated
area, in order to prevent the PTO drive shaft guard from rotating. Be careful to
