CIENT ROTATIONAL INTERIA CAN OVER-
POWER THE TRACTOR'S BRAKES, MAKING
IT IMPOSSIBLE
TO
STOP THE TRACTOR
QUICKLY. THIS CAN LEAD
TO
AN ACCIDENT,
POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. TO
PROTECT
AGAINST
SUCH
AN
OCCUR-
RENCE, MAKE SURE THAT ANY IMPLEMENT
USED WITH THE GROUND SYNCHRONOUS
PTO IS DESIGNED FOR SUCH USE AND
IS
EQUIPPED WITH AN OVER-RUNNING (ONE-
WAY) CLUTCH OR OTHER SUITABLE SAFETY
DEVICE.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
-PTO
A
wARNING:
Be
sure to observe the following safety precau-
tions when working with the PTO.
1.
Before dismounting from the tractor, with
or
with-
out the engine running, disengage the PTO (un-
less operating as a stationary power unit), place
gear and range selector levers in neutral, lower
implements and/or attachments to the ground, and
apply the parking brake.
2. Be sure to disengage the PTO when not in use.
3. Keep the tractor's PTO shield in place at all times.
4.
Keep the shields on the PTO driven equipment at
all times.

5.
Never permit anyone to adjust, clean, lubricate,
or
inspect a PTO driven implement until the tractor
engine is shut off, with the PTO disengaged, the
gear and range selector levers are in neutral, the
tractor's parking brake is engaged, making certain
that all moving parts have stopped, and the imple-
ment and/or attachment has been lowered to the
ground
or
securely blocked.
PTO OPERATING HINTS
1.
When attaching a pto driven implement to the
tractor, be sure that the tractor engine is not
running, the gear and range selector levers are in
neutral, the parking brake engaged, and the PTO
is disengaged. This will allow the PTO shaft to be
turned by hand when attaching the implement to
the tractor.
2. Always start the job in a low gear, to avoid over-
loading the tractor
or
the implement. You can
always shift up if conditions permit.
3. Set the engine speed so that the PTO driven
implement is driven at the standard PTO RPM.
(2160 engine RPM
for
540 PTO RPM).
4.
If the tractor beings to lug,
or
a tough spot is
encountered, depress the clutch to stop the tractor
while the implement clears itself.
5.
Do
not use the throttle to slow down the travel
speed of the tractor. The PTO driven implement
is
designed to operate at standard PTO RPM. If
necessary, shift to a lower gear.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage the PTO before
making sharp turns and before raising a mounted
implement to its highest raised position. Failure to
do so can cause damage to the tractor, the imple-
ment, or both.
DRAWBAR FOR PTO OPERATION
The drawbar; which is used in conjunction with the PTO
driven implement, must be locked in the center of its
quadrant and the top of the drawbar must
be
at
least 8"
(203mm) below the center of the PTO shaft. Also, the
pin hole in the drawbar must be 14" 9356mm) toward
the rear of the PTO
shaft. The drawbarcan be adjusted
to obtain the correct dimensions.
