PTO-Specific Hazards
Applies only to optional PTO pump.
Even if you are experienced in PTO operations, review
the “ Using PTO Safely ” topic on page 2 of the PTO
manual (411-015M). Topics in that manual dealing with
PTO hazards include this PTO alert symbol.
PTO hazards include:
 Entanglement:
resulting in abrasions, lacerations, crushing,
dismemberment or death. Loose clothing, cuffs, frays,
laces, coattails, drawstrings, hair or scarves are taken up
by a PTO faster than you can react, and with
overpowering torque.
 Flailing machinery:
resulting from an unsecured torque arm, resulting in
serious injury or death.

High pressure fluid sprays:
due to hydraulic hose failure, resulting from PTO shaft
over-speed or damaged hoses.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.

Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.

If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Use A Safety Chain
(Optional hydraulic hitch only. 3-Point has no chain.)

Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from tractor draw-bar.

Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery.

Attach chain to tractor draw-bar support or other
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in
chain to permit turning.
 Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
 Do not use safety chain for towing.
