Reducing The PTO Driveline Length
Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position
(see “Leaving The Operator’s Position” on page
24). Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating
components have come to a complete stop before
leaving the operator’s position.
WARNING
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
• Do NOT exceed the rated implement PTO
speed.
• Stay clear of rotating driveline.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing and long hair
away.
• Keep PTO shields and all guards in place.
• Disengage PTO, move the tractor controls
to the Neutral position, stop the engine
and make sure all rotating components
are stopped before leaving the operator’s
position.
• Do NOT service the tractor or implement
with the PTO engaged.
• Do NOT service the implement in a raised
position unless properly blocked and with
all rotating components stopped.
• Disengage PTO for road travel.
Remove the PTO driveline from the tractor and
place in storage position (if equipped).
Enter the operator’s position. Start the engine.
Raise or lower the three-point implement to get
the shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft
and three-point implement gearbox PTO shaft.
Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position.
Pull the PTO driveline apart and reinstall each
individual section; one half to the tractor PTO shaft
and one half to the implement gearbox PTO shaft.
