PTO shaft
Telespace PTO shaft (telescoping)
WARNING
Risk of crushing from the tractor and machine unintentionally
starting up or rolling.
Only couple or uncouple the PTO shaft and tractor when the tractor
and machine have been secured against both unintentional starting
and unintentional rolling.
WARNING
Risk of being caught and drawn in by the unguarded PTO shaft
or due to damaged safety devices.
Never use the PTO shaft if the safety device is missing or dam-
aged, or without correctly using the supporting chain.
Before each use, check that
all PTO shaft protective devices are installed and fully func-
tional.
the clearance around the PTO shaft is sufficient in all oper-
ating positions. Insufficient clearance will result in damage
to the PTO shaft.
Attach the supporting chains in a way that ensures a sufficient
swivel range of the PTO shaft in all operating positions. Support-
ing chains must not become caught on machine or tractor parts.
Have any damaged or missing parts of the PTO shaft replaced
immediately with genuine parts from the PTO shaft manufac-
turer.
Note that only a specialist workshop may repair a PTO shaft.
With the machine uncoupled, place the PTO shaft in the holder
provided. This protects the PTO shaft from damage and dirt.
Never use the supporting chain of the PTO shaft to sus-
pend the uncoupled PTO shaft.
