WARNING
Danger of crushing from tractor and machine unintentionally
starting up or rolling away!
Couple or decouple the PTO shaft and tractor only when tractor and
machine have been secured against both unintentional starting and
unintentional rolling away.
WARNING
Danger from being entangled and drawn in by unguarded PTO
shaft or 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 safety devices of the PTO shaft
are installed and fully functional.
• Attach the supporting chains (does not apply to PTO shaft with
full guard) in such a way as to ensure sufficient swivelling range
in all operating positions. Supporting chains must not become
caught on machine or tractor parts.
• Have any damaged or missing parts of the PTO shaft replaced
immediately with OEM parts from the PTO shaft manufacturer.
Note that only a specialist workshop may repair a PTO shaft.
