Warning:
When using a PTO to drive an implement, such as rotary mower, hay baler and flail, such implements
must be installed with a free wheel clutch to avoid damage to the PTO brake.
Warning:
Before dismounting from the tractor, always disengage the PTO, lower implements to the ground, put the
gearbox controls in neutral, apply the parking brake, shut off the engine, engage first gear (on tractors
with mechanical gearboxes) and remove the key from the starter switch. For further information on safe
working procedures, refer to the chapter “Parking the tractor” in the safety section of this manual.
Danger:
After disengaging the power take-off, the mounted implement may continue to operate due to inertia.
Only when the implement is at a complete standstill and the engine has been switched off is it possible
to come near to perform the required maintenance.
Danger:
For safety seasons, the PTO shaft shield must never be removed. The shaft’s safety cap must only be
removed to couple the PTO shaft to the implement drive shaft with the engine stopped. We recommended
that this cap is always replaced with the engine stationary when the PTO shaft is not is to be used.
Danger:
When connecting or disconnecting the PTO drive shaft, shut off the engine and apply the parking brake.
For further information on safe working procedures, refer to the chapter “Parking the tractor” in the safety
section of this manual.
