CAUTION: Before using the PTO, the maximum
permissible angle of articulation on the telescoping
driveline must be ascertained. During operation, there
must be no contact between the PTO guard and the
telescoping driveline. This is particularly important
when turning corners.
CAUTION: Always put a guard (C) on the
telescoping driveline and take action to prevent it from
turning with the shaft. Do not operate the telescoping
driveline unless a guard is installed that covers the
PTO shaft completely and does not turn with the shaft.
Attaching PTO-Driven Implement:
1. Shut off engine and disengage PTO before
attaching PTO-driven equipment.
CAUTION: High-inertia implements do not come
to a standstill the moment the PTO control lever is
shifted to the disengaged position. Do NOT approach
the implement while it is ”coasting down”. Do not work
on the implement until it has stopped.
CAUTION: Before attempting to clean, adjust or
lubricate a PTO-driven machine, the TPL, always
make sure the PTO is switched off and stopped, the
tractor engine is shut off and the ignition key is
removed. Turn key off to stop engine.
2. Attach implement to tractor before connecting PTO
drive line. Lock TPL in upward position if it is not to be
used.
3. Rotate PTO shield upward for clearance. With
engine off, turn shaft slightly by hand if necessary to
line up splines. Connect drive line to PTO shaft. Pull
out on shaft to be sure drive line is locked to PTO shaft.
Place PTO shield in downward position.
4. Be sure all shields are in place and in good
condition. Never operate PTO unless master shield is
properly installed. WITH ENGINE STOPPED, check
integral shields on drive line by making sure they
rotate freely on shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.
5. Check carefully for any interference, make sure TPL
is locked in the upward position if it is not used.
