Operating Instructions (2010-52-EU)

LX1049749-UN-21MAY10

Articulation on drive shaft

LX1049900-UN-22FEB11

Align forks correctly

1 - Z-shaped layout

2 - W-shaped layout

As far as possible, angles (a) and (b) at the universal joints should be the same at both ends of the drive shaft.

In applications where this is not the case (e.g. sharp turns with PTO engaged), it is recommended to use a continuous-velocity drive shaft.

NOTE: The two schematic drawings do not show any guards on the drive shaft. A guard is mandatory when using drive shafts.

IMPORTANT: Only operating conditions described in the Operator's Manuals of the various implements are permitted. This applies particularly to maximum permissible angle of articulation, to the use of freewheel clutches and overload clutches, and to the prescribed amount of overlap when shaped pipes are pushed together.

IMPORTANT: Before using a PTO-driven implement, take action to ensure that the drive shaft is lubricated regularly. Comply with instructions in the Operator's Manual provided by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: On multi-component, telescopic drive shafts, the yokes at each end must be aligned as shown. The yokes at each end must NOT be at 90° to one another (see arrows in illustration on the right).
