SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATIONS

POWER TAKE--OFF
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The power take--off fitted on your tractor is used to
transfer power from the engine directly to the
implement. It can be controlled directly from the
engine, or by the tractor’s transmission drive gears.
All tractors are fitted as standard with a power
take--off at 540 rev/min.
The power take--off comes in 3 versions :
-- standard single--speed -- 540 rev/min;
-- optional two--speed -- 540/750 (540E) rev/min;
-- optional two speed -- 540/1000 rev/min.

When not using the power take--off, always keep
safety cover (1) fig. 3 fitted over the splined output
shaft.
CAUTION
When the power take--off is not being used or when,
with an implement connected to the power take--off
shaft, it has been switched off by means of the
selection lever, ensure that the control lever or the
control knob are disengaged. When the power
take--off is not connected to an implement, keep the
control handle in the disengaged position.
CAUTION
When you are not using the power take--off and
particularly when changing from one speed to
another, always check that the shaft fitted on the
tractor is the right one for the speed selected.
When using any implement requiring a speed of 540
rev/min, never select 1000 rev/min, and vice versa.
DANGER
Never stand on the guard (2) fig. 3 when the power
take--off is operating.
CAUTION
Before operating any implement driven by the power
take--off, check that the safety clutch (if fitted) on the
machine transmission shaft is working properly, i.e.:
it slips if overloaded.
CAUTION
Never operate any implement connected to the
power take--off at a higher speed than that specified.
DANGER
Always check that the plastic guards on the drive
shaft are in perfect condition.
DANGER
Always shut off the engine when working on an
implement connected to the power take--off.
