without the danger that the inertia of the rotor preventing the stopping of the mulcher/tractor assembly.
CAUTION! The manufacturer of the cardan shaft recommends that no changes be made to it. The
Cardan shaft rotates at a
significant speed and is subjected to balancing before being placed on the
market. Therefore, any changes could cause imbalance, which affect the integrity of the cardan shaft.
When the cardan shaft is at its maximum length in any work conditions, the telescopic pipes should
overlap by at least 1/3 of their length, as illustrated in (Figure 8). When operating at full power, the
minimum play should be 4 cm. Before start-up, check that the safety chains are on the protection
devices to prevent them from rotating together with the cardan shaft; also check that the protection
devices are in perfect condition. Lastly, check that the cardan shaft is suitable for transmitting the power
required for the Mulcher. When in doubt, contact the Manufacturer.
