•
Before switching on the universal joint shaft, check that the se-
lected universal joint shaft speed of the tractor matches the per-
mitted drive rev. speed of the machine.
•
Instruct people to leave the danger area of the machine before
you switch on the universal joint shaft.
• While work is being carried out with the universal joint shaft,
there must be no one in the area of the universal drive or PTO
shaft while it is turning.
•
Never switch on the universal joint shaft while the tractor engine
is shut off.
• Always switch off the universal joint shaft whenever excessive
bending occurs or it is not needed.
• WARNING! After the universal joint shaft is switched off, there is
a danger of injury from the continued rotation of freewheeling
machine parts.
Do not approach the machine too closely during this time. You
may work on the machine only after all machine parts have
come to a complete stop.
• Secure the tractor and machine against unintentional starting
and unintentional rolling away before you perform any cleaning,
servicing or maintenance work on universal joint shaft-driven
machines or PTO shafts.
•
After decoupling the PTO shaft, place it on the holder provided.
• After removing the PTO shaft, attach the protective sleeve to the
universal joint shaft stub.
•
When using the travel-dependent universal joint shaft, note that
the universal joint shaft speed depends on the drive speed, and
that the direction of rotation reverses when you drive in reverse.
