Power take-off (PTO)
WARNING: PTO shafts and PTO driven
implements can be extremely
hazardous, observe the following
important points:
*DO NOT operate the tractor without a PTO cap
fitted when not using the PTO. It protects people
from injury as well as the splines from damage.
*Before attaching, adjusting or working on PTO
driven implements, disengage the PTO, stop
the engine and remove the key. DO NOT work
under raised equipment.
*Before engaging a PTO driven implement and
after fitting, ALWAYS carefully raise and lower
the implement using Position Control, and
check clearances, PTO shaft slide range and
articulation.
*Ensure that the PTO safety shield is in place
at all times.
*Ensure that all PTO driven implements have
the correct guards, are in good condition and
conform to current standards.
*NEVER step across any driveline.
*DO NOT use the tractor drawbar or the
implement drawbar as a step.
*NEVER use the driveline as a step.
*NEVER wear loose fitting clothes.
*Keep at least your height away from a rotating
drive line.
