Safety Rules For Power Take-Off (PTO) Driven
Equipment
• Keep PTO shields and all guards in place. Replace
damaged or missing shields and guards before
operating.
• Follow warnings and instructions on machine signs
(decals). Replace damaged or missing decals.
• Do not wear loose or bulky clothing around the PTO
or other moving parts.
• Keep bystanders away from PTO driven equipment,
and never allow children near machines.
• Read and understand the manuals for the PTO driven
equipment and be aware of safe operating
procedures and hazards that may not be readily
apparent.
• Always walk around equipment to avoid coming near
a turning PTO driveline. Stepping over, leaning
across or crawling under a turning PTO driveline can
cause entanglement.
• Position the machine and equipment hitch correctly to
prevent driveline stress and separation.
• Use caution when turning. Turning too sharp can
cause driveline damage.
• Use caution when raising PTO driven attachment.
Excessive driveline angle can cause driveline
damage. Use stops if needed.
Machine Requirements And Capabilities
• Stop the machine and engage the parking brake.
Install blocks in front of and behind the rear tires of the
machine. Install blocks underneath and support the
equipment securely before working under raised
equipment.
• Keep bystanders clear of moving parts and the work
area. Keep children away.
• Use increased caution on slopes and near banks and
ditches to prevent overturn.
• Make certain that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem is installed so that it is visible and legible.
When transporting the equipment, use the flashing
warning lights (if equipped) and follow all local
regulations.
• Operate this equipment with a machine equipped with
an approved Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS).
Always wear seat belt when the ROPS is up. Serious
injury or death could result from falling off the
machine.
• Before leaving the operator’s position:
1. Always park on a flat level surface.
2. Place all controls in neutral.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Stop engine.
5. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Carry passengers only in designated seating areas.
Never allow riders on the machine or equipment.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
• Start the equipment only when properly seated in the
operator’s seat. Starting a machine in gear can result
in serious injury or death.
• Operate the machine and equipment from the
operator's position only.
• The parking brake must be engaged before leaving
the operator’s seat. Rollaway can occur because the
transmission may not prevent machine movement.
