3.4.4 PTO operation
• Only universal drive shafts specified by the manufacturer and
fitted with guard devices according to the regulations are to be
used!
• Observe the operating instructions for the universal drive shaft
supplied!
• Check the universal drive shaft:
ο protective sleeve and funnel of the universal drive shaft
must be undamaged,
ο tractor and machine P.T.O. shaft must each be fitted with a
safety shield! The safety shields must be found to be in
proper condition!
• Working with damaged protective equipment is forbidden!
• Only mount and demount the drive shafts with:
ο the P.T.O. shaft switched off,
ο the tractor engine switched off,
ο the ignition key removed,
ο the parking brake applied!
• Ensure correct mounting and safeguarding of the PTO drive
shaft at all times!
• Secure the PTO drive shaft guard by hanging the chain(s) inside
so that it does not travel!
• With drive shafts, ensure the recommended tube overlapping in
transport- and work-position!
Observe the operating manual for the PTO drive shaft.
• When driving on winding roads, keep to the admissible PTO
drive shaft offset angle and skid way!
• When using wide angle drive shafts always mount the wide
angle joint at the fulcrum between tractor and machine!
• Where universal drive shafts with overload or freewheeling
clutch are used, always mount the overload or freewheeling
clutch on the machine side!
• Before switching on the P.T.O. shaft, check that the selected
speed and direction of rotation of the tractor P.T.O. corresponds
to the permissible drive speed and direction of rotation of the
machine!
• Order everyone out of the danger zone of the machine before
switching on the PTO!
• No-one must be allowed to be within the range of the rotating
PTO or PTO drive shaft while they are in operation!
• Never switch on the P.T.O. shaft with the tractor motor switched
off!
• Always switch off the PTO if the offset angles become too large
or the PTO is not required!
• After switching off the P.T.O. shaft, there is a risk of injury from
the coasting-down inertia mass of rotating machine parts!
During this phase do not go too near the machine! Do not start
work on the machine again before all the machine parts have
