24) Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement coupled to the lift unit, stop the engine, engage the hand brake
and remove the ignition key from the control panel.
25) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the machine (Fig. 5) when the engine is running and
the propeller shaft is engaged without having first engaged the hand brake. Keep a safe distance from the
rotating/moving parts at work to avoid being hit by possible flying stones, etc.
26) Always set the lift control lever to the locked position before coupling or releasing the implement from the three-
point coupling.
27) The category of the implement coupling pins must correspond to that of the lift coupling.
28) Take care when working near the lift links. This is a very dangerous zone.
29) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the implement when manoeuvering the lift control
from the outside (Fig. 5).
30) Fix the side lift links with the relative chains and idlers during the transport phase.
31) Set the control lever of the hydraulic lift to the locked position during road transport with the implement raised.
When hoisting from the ground, the joints of the propeller shaft are bent to more than 40° (power takeoff turned
off). Detach the shaft from the power takeoff of the tractor.
32) Only use the propeller shaft recommended by the Manufacturer.
33) Frequently and periodically check the propeller shaft guard.
It must always be in an excellent condition and well-welded.
34) Take great care of the the propeller shaft guard, both in the transport and work positions.
35) The propeller shaft must only be installed or dismantled whilst the engine is off.
36) Take great care to ensure that the propeller shaft is correctly assembled and safe, and carefully check the
locking both on the P.T.O. of the machine and on the P.T.O. of the tractor.
37) Use the supplied latch to prevent the propeller shaft guard from turning both on the machine's and on the
tractor's side.
38) Before engaging the pto, ensure that there are no persons or animals in the field of action of the machine and
that the selected running rate corresponds to the permissible value.
Never exceed the recommended maximum rate.
39) Never engage the pto when the engine is off.
40) Always disengage the pto when the propeller shaft is set at an excessively open angle (never beyond 10
degrees - Fig. 6) and when it is not in use.

41) Only clean and grease the propeller shaft when the pto is disengaged, the engine off, the hand brake engaged
and the ignition key removed.
42) Rest the propeller shaft on its stand when the machine is disconnected.
43) Refit the protective cap on the pto shaft after having dismantled the propeller shaft.
