Driveshaft preparation and coupling
After cutting the parts, use a file to do the finishing on the driveshaft. Lubricate with a thin layer of
grease.
After installing the driveshaft, fasten the safety chains so that it can articulate in any operating
conditions.
The cut pieces of the driveshaft must be the same length.
It is always necessary to check the length of the driveshaft when using a different model of tractor.
Clean and lubricate the power take-off axles (in the tractor and the machine) before coupling to the
driveshaft.
See the detailed cutting instructions on the pamphlet attached to the driveshaft.
Always assemble the driveshaft after aligning the ends:
CORRECT
We recommend in normal operating conditions for the machine to move in a straight line and
contact area between the male and female parts to be at least 2/3 of the length of the closed
driveshaft (measurement L in the following figure). In the most critical conditions, when making
sharp turns, this measurement cannot be less than 1/3 of the length (fig.12).
When operating, the articulation angle of the driveshaft cannot exceed 15 (degrees) (fig.13). We
recommend disconnecting the power take-off when turning the coupled machine.
