Fig. 13. Instruction of PTO shaft shortening
NOTICE:
The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by an incorrectly fitted or used PTO shaft.
CAUTION:
Handle all parts with utmost care. Never place your hands or fingers between one
part and the other. Wear safety clothes such as gloves, protective footwear and
goggles. The operation of shortening must be carried out with the utmost care as the
PTO shaft will have to be replaced if the telescopic shafts are shortened to an
excessive extent.
CAUTION:
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and disconnected
from tractor PTO for transport and service.
CAUTION:
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the work begins,
check the safety guards (in tractor, mower and PTO shaft), if they are placed
correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts must be replaced with
genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly mounted. It is forbidden to
approach the rotating parts, because it may lead to serious injuries or even death.
All service and repair operations must be done only after the tractor engine has
been stopped and ignition key off, all rotating parts have come to the complete
standstill and the cutterbar is on the ground. Before the operation begins, read
operator’s manuals of both the machine and PTO shaft.
