PTO shaft
Before attaching or removing a PTO shaft, perform
the safety shutdown procedure.
Use only PTO shafts supplied with the machine or
recommended by the machine manufacturer.
The protective shield of the tractor PTO stub, the
PTO shaft guards and the protective shield of the
machine input shaft must always be in place and in
good condition.
Make sure that the PTO shaft guards are secured
with the safety chains provided, if so equipped.
Immediately replace any worn or damaged guard. A
worn guard or an unprotected PTO shaft can cause
a serious or even a lethal accident.
Do not wear loose clothing that could be caught in
the rotating PTO shaft..
If the primary PTO shaft is equipped with a torque
limiter or a free wheel, these must be fitted on the
machine side.
Ensure that the PTO shaft is always correctly fitted
and locked into place.
Before connecting the PTO shaft, ensure that the
PTO speed (rotational frequency) and direction of
rotation are in line with the machine manufacturer's
recommendations.
Before engaging the PTO drive, make sure that
there are no people or animals near the machine.
Never engage the PTO drive when the tractor
engine is stopped.
When uncoupling the machine, rest the PTO shaft
on the support specially provided, and replace
protective shield on the PTO stub of the tractor.
Read and follow the instructions in the operator's
manual provided with the PTO shaft.
Tires
Regularly check the tire pressure. Refer to
"Inspections and adjustments" section for proper
wheel nut torque and tire pressure information.
Assembly, disassembly and repair of wheels and
tires must only be carried out by competent persons
who are equipped with the appropriate tools. Before
any work is performed on the wheels or tires, ensure
that the machine rests on the ground and is perfectly
stable so that it cannot move accidentally. Always
chock the tires before working on the machine.
