Operation
X6 - P/N 6525032M1
Precautions when using the PTO
PTO shafts and implements operated by means of
the PTO can be extremely dangerous. It is therefore
advisable to comply with the following important
instructions:
WARNING: NEVER operate without the PTO
shield (1) or cap (2) mounted. These parts
protect persons from injuries and the shaft
splines from damage (Fig.5-21).
DANGER: Before connecting, adjusting or
working on implements operated by the PTO,
disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove
the key from the dashboard and engage the
parking brake. Do not work under raised
implements.
DANGER: Check to make sure that all imple-
ments operated by the PTO are fitted with the
correct protections, are in a good condition
and comply with the provisions established
by law.
DANGER: Before driving an implement
through the PTO, ALWAYS make sure that all
bystanders are well away from the tractor.
WARNING: Fix the drawbar in the central
position when using implements that are
driven by the PTO of the tractor.
WARNING: When using the PTO drive with
a stationary tractor, ALWAYS make sure that
the gears are in neutral and that the parking
brake is applied.
WARNING: Before starting up any PTO-driven
implement hitched to the three-point linkage,
lift the implement to its full height using posi-
tion control and check that at least 1/4th of the
total length of the telescopic section of the drive
shaft is engaged. Adjust the height limiter on the
electronic hitch control panel (if fitted) to limit
the maximum height of the stroke.
Note to the use in paddy fields
Use in paddy fields: When using the tractor in water-logged
soil or in paddy fields where the water level could rise
above the height of the PTO shaft, ask you Argo Tractors
Dealer for instructions on all necessary waterproofing and
sealing measures. If such measures are not taken, the
guarantee could be rendered invalid.

WARNING: 540 ECO power take-off is obtained
at 1377 RPM. Never exceed a 1890 RPM engine
rated speed (corresponding to 630 RPM of the
PTO shaft) or the PTO shaft and the connected
implement could be seriously damaged.
WARNING: Attach the implement to the drawbar
of the tractor before connecting the implement trans-
mission
to the power take-off. When connecting the implement
driveline to the tractor, check the driveline for correct
length, allowed slant and free telescopic movement.
The correct length is important to prevent the drive-
line from hitting bottom or from separating in any
tractor or implement operating position. An excessive
slant could damage also the power take-off guards.
