3.3.6 If the land has masses, stones or anything else that may cause blows on the blades, the
use of Cardan shaft With clutch or with other safety system (Shear Bolt Torque Limiter or
Auto Torque Limiter LR) is Indispensable. It is also advised to run the tractor with lower
speed, to soften blows on the machine.
3.3.7 Any problems caused by working on particularly rocky land will not be covered in the
warranty.
16

3.3.8 The calibration of the Cardan joint clutch/Shear Bolt must also be checked to be sure that
it carries out its, function correctly. It is advised to carry out this control at a specialized
centre. The clutches/Shear Bolts on the Cardan shaft normally supplied by KOEL are
calibrated to the maximum available load. It is advised to have the Cardan shaft;
Clutch/Shear Bolt checked by a specialist every 300 working hours or, if the work is
seasonal, on re-starting activity after the break.
3.4 CARDAN SHAFT ADAPTION
3.4.1 The Cardan shaft, supplied with the machine is of standard length. Therefore, it might be
necessary to adapt the Cardan shaft. In that case, before doing anything, consult the
Manufacturer for the eventual adaptation. Hitch the machine to the tractor and stabilize
the tractor's third point with the device set up for that purpose (bar, range, and so on).
3.4.2 Disengage the tractor's P.T.O. and turn off the engine. Connect the Driveline shaft to the
tractor's P.T.O. The connection is correct when the machine is horizontal in the operating
position. To achieve this, increase or decrease the length of the top bar of the hitch (B
Image E) so as to set the axis (X Image: E) of the housing's grooved ring nut parallel to the
ground.
Image: E
3.4.3 Inspections at work :
ŸThe two angles ( Fig. 4) formed by the fork axes and the axis of the sliding tubes will be
equal and must not, exceed 10°
ŸThe sliding tubes (C Fig. 4) must overlap by at least 15 cm (Fig. 5).
OPERATING INFORMATION
3.0
17

3.4.4 Inspections in the raised position:
Ÿ Proceed with a lifting action (tractor P.T.O. disengaged).
Ÿ The two tubes of the drive line shaft must not fully overlap. There must always be a
safety travel (D Fig.4) of at least 4 cm.
Ÿ The angles ( Fig.4) of the drivelines must not exceed 40° (Fig. 4). If these two results are
not obtained:
Ÿ Shorten the sliding tubes by the same extent (Fig. 6 and 7), deburr and trim (Fig. 8),
then grease the inside of the outer tube (Fig. 9).
Ÿ Make sure that the upper hitch bar is as parallel as possible to the lower bars of the
hitch.
Ÿ If this is not sufficient, correct the way the top link of the hitch couples to the tractor or
machine, as necessary, or at least considerably attenuate the jolts to which the drive
line shaft is subjected during the lifting phase.
Ÿ If errors have been committed, disengage the tractor's P.T.O. before lifting the machine.
Repeat these inspections when the machine is hitched behind another tractor.
Ÿ When the Cardan shaft is fully extended, the two tubes must overlap by at least 15 cm.
When fully inserted, the minimum play must be 4 cm. (Fig. 5).
If the implement is used on another tractor, always check that the guards completely cover the
rotating parts of the Cardan shaft.
