SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
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 driveling
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
• Fasten seat belt securely. If equipped with a
foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS),
only fasten seat belt when ROPS is up and locked.
DO NOT wear seat belt if ROPS is down.
• Machine’s three-point hitch must be equipped with
sway bars or chains.
• 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.

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.
