Guarding PTO Drive Shafts
PTO drive systems can be dangerous and when used,
additional safety precautions, including guarding, may be required
and must be provided by the drive system installer. Roper Pump
Company has no responsibility for recommending or providing
proper guarding or other safety measures in any particular
application.
The installation of proper guards for the power take-off and its
associated equipment is the responsibility of the drive system
designer and the installer who know the particular product
application and the user’s exposure to danger. The ultimate
responsibility for the safe application and installation is the user’s.
Operating without guards could
result in serious injury or death.
Machinery in operation can grab,
crush, cut, mangle and
dismember. Do not operate
without adequate guards in place.
