POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)
WARNING: PTO shafts and PTO driven
implements can be extremely dangerous.
Observe the following important points:
DO NOT operate tractor without a PTO cap
installed. The cap protects people from in-
jury as well as the splines from damage.
Before attaching, adjusting or working on
PTO driven implements, disengage the PTO,
stop the engine and remove the key. DO
NOT work under raised equipment.
Before engaging a PTO-driven implement,
ALWAYS carefully raise and lower the imple-
ment using Position Control. Check clear-
ances, PTO shaft sliding range and articula-
tion.
Ensure that all PTO safety shields are in
place at all times.
Ensure all PTO-driven implements are in
good condition and conform to current
standards.
NEVER step across any driveline.
DO NOT use the tractor drawbar or the im-
plement drawbar as a step.
NEVER use the driveline as a step.
NEVER wear loose fitting clothes.
Keep at least your height away from a rotat-
ing driveline.

A protective cover should be positioned over the shaft
splines when not in use.
IMPORTANT: When the rear PTO is used with a three-
point mounted equipment, it may be
necessary to remove the drawbar, at
rear of the tractor. Some types of mount-
ed equipment, when lowered, may allow
the PTO shaft to contact drawbar.
