  Syncronizing the PTO driveline

Could someone please remind me how to "syncronize" the PTO driveline to reduce harmonic distortion on the generator - I thought there was a thread on this board but I cant find it. I have a metric driveline (curved triangular tube sheath - for extension - on the PTO, thus three possible orientations, and two cross bearing thingys on the opposing universal joints. I realize this only applies when the driveline is operated such that there are bends in the universal joints (height difference) but need the information anyway.
Many thanks Ann

OK Thanks guys, I now have mine looking like this:

]---------[

such that the opposing yokes on each shaft end of the universal joint are in the same plane.

Got it all sorted out, seems like the triangular shaped shaft I bought (so-called metric shaft) can only be attached in one orientation anyway (the sides are slightly different) so the driveline lines up perfectly as below:

]==============[ or if you are looking at it differently O===========O

I suppose it wouldn't make much difference on an ATV or truck if the orientation was ]===========O AND the shaft was perfectly balanced but in a generator application there would be slight speed ups and slow downs and that would affect your generated power quality. On an ATV you would be totally unlikely to notice it - or would you?
