Power take-off shaft operation
• Only drive shafts stipulated by the manufacturer may be used!
• Both halves of the protective tube of the PTO shaft must be anchored to
prevent rotation - and be in working order!
• At PTO shafts always see to the advised tube overlapping in transport- and
working position!
• Fit and remove the PTO shaft only when the power take-off drive is
disconnected, the engine is switched off and the ignition key has been
removed!
• Always ensure the correct assembly and safety of the PTO shaft!
• Prevent PTO guard from spinning by fixing the provided chain to a nearby
static part!
• Before engaging the power take-off drive, ensure that the selected speed of the
tractor's power take-off shaft matches the permissible speed of the power
harrow!
• When using the speed-related PTO shaft take into account that the PTO speed
depends on the driving speed and that the turning direction is reversed when
driving backwards!
• Before engaging the power take-off drive, ensure that nobody is standing in the
hazard area of the power harrow!
• Never connect the power take-off shaft when the engine is switched on!
• When working with the power take-off shaft, nobody must stand in the area of
the rotating power take-off shaft.
• Always disengage the power take-off drive if excessive angular displacements
occur.
• Caution: After disengaging the power take-off drive, the rotors take a few
seconds to come to rest. Do not approach the power harrow too closely during
this time. Work must not be carried out upon it until it comes to a complete
standstill!
• Clean, lubricate or adjust the appliance driven by the power take-off shaft only
