by hand from under the vehicle while the engine

• In order to avoid becoming entangled, install the
power take off and/or shaft behind the frame rail,
tanks, battery box, etc.
• If power take off and/or shaft are still exposed
after installation, install a guard.
• Install a support strap when servicing a drive
shaft to prevent personal injury.
