IMPORTANT: For high-inertia implements (e.g. stone

is to be used.
WARNING: When using the PTO with the
tractor at a standstill, always make sure
that the creeper lever of the gearshift in
neutral position and that the parking brake
is engaged.
WARNING: High-inertia implements do not
stop immediately after the independent PTO
has been disengaged. Wait for the implement
to slow down or stop completely before
performing any cleaning or adjustment
operations.
IMPORTANT: When using implements that cause shock
loads, always use a safety coupler between the implement
and the PTO drive shaft. Before using the implement, check
the correct operation both of the safety coupler and of the
implement.
