FIG. 81
POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)
WARNING: PTO shafts and PTO driven im-
plements can be extremely dangerous. Ob-
serve the following important points:
DO NOT operate tractor without a PTO cap
installed. The cap protects people from in-
jury as well as the splines from damage.
Before attaching, adjusting or working on
PTO driven implements, disengage the PTO,
stop the engine and remove the key. DO
NOT work under raised equipment.
Before engaging a PTO-driven implement,
ALWAYS carefully raise and lower the imple-
ment using Position Control. Check clear-
ances, PTO shaft sliding range and articula-
tion.
Ensure that all PTO safety shields are in
place at all times.
Ensure all PTO-driven implements are in
good condition and conform to current
standards.
NEVER step across any driveline.
DO NOT use the tractor drawbar or the im-
plement drawbar as a step.
NEVER use the driveline as a step.
NEVER wear loose fitting clothes.
Keep at least your height away from a rotat-
ing driveline.
IMPORTANT: Depress main clutch pedal and stop
tractor before engaging or disengaging
4-wheel drive. Do not use 4WD on hard
surfaces. Rapid wear of the front tires
and possible drive line damage could
occur if 4WD is operated for prolonged
periods on hard surfaces.
FIG. 81: When the front axle drive is engaged, the
ground speed of the front tires will vary from that of rear
tires. This is to assist steering when 4-wheel drive is
selected. For this reason, the front axle must be disen-
gaged when the tractor is transported or operated on
a hard, dry surface. Failure to do so will result in rapid
wear of the front drive tires and possible driveline dam-
age.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage front drive axle when
operating in conditions with minimal
wheelslippage(DRYORHARDSUR-
FACES).
If tire replacement is necessary, identical
replacements must be installed to main-
taincorrectfront/rearaxleratio.
