Instruction manual – MU-C/S 23
P.T.O. drive
• Only use P.T.O. shafts that we have approved.
• Shaft guards and funnel guards for the P.T.O. shaft must be fitted at both the tractor and
mulcher ends and be in good condition!
• Ensure that P.T.O. shafts have the proper pipe covers in transport and operating positions!
• Do not fit or remove the P.T.O. without first turning off the engine and removing the keys!!.
• Always make sure that the P.T.O. shaft has been correctly mounted and secured!
• Secure the P.T.O. shaft by locking the chain to prevent it rotating.
• Before engaging the P.T.O. always make sure that the selected output drive speed matches the
gearbox speed set on the mulcher.
• Make sure that there is nobody in the danger area before you switch on the P.T.O. drive!
• Never engage the P.T.O. drive with the engine switched off!
• When working on the P.T.O. shaft never let anybody stand anywhere near the rotating P.T.O. or
the P.T.O. shaft!
• Note: Danger from flying parts and debris!
Before engaging the mulcher P.T.O. shaft,
make sure that you clear everybody from the 80 m danger area
and check that the
plate guards or chain guards at the front and the rubber protection bar at the rear
are fitted and intact.
• Always disengage the P.T.O. shaft if there is too much distortion and it is not required!
• Take care when disengaging the P.T.O. shaft. It is dangerous if the rotor is still turning.
• Don’t get too close to the machine at this point. Don’t start work on it until it is completely still.
• Don’t clean, grease or adjust the P.T.O.driven device or the coupling shafts until the P.T.O. has
been disengaged, the engine turned off and the ignition keys removed!
• Fit the disengaged couplings to the mounting provided.
• Repair all damage to the P.T.O. shaft before starting work on the machine.
