4. Before installing or removing the p.t.o. shaft, disenga-
ge the p.t.o., stop the engine and remove the ignition
key.
5. Should overload or overrunning clutches not be covered
by the tractor guards, the p.t.o. shaft has to be installed
with the safety clutch at the implement side.
6. Make sure at all times that the p.t.o. shaft is properly
installed and secured.
7. Hook in the chain to secure the p.t.o. shaft guard against
rotation.
8. Before engaging the p.t.o. make sure the selected
tractor p.t.o. speed is in accordance with the permissi-
ble speed of the implement.
9. When using a ground speed p.t.o. take into account that
the p.t.o. speed depends on the travel speed and the
direction of rotation is reversed by backward move-
ments.
10.Before engaging the p.t.o. be sure that nobody is
standing in the danger area of the implement.
11. Never engage the p.t.o. while the engine is stopped.
12.Keep all persons clear of the p.t.o. and p.t.o. shaft while
the driving system is in operation.
13.Always disengage the p.t.o. for very sharp turns or
when p.t.o. operation is not required.
14.Danger! Working elements continue to rotate after the
p.t.o. is disengaged. Keep clear of rotating parts at all
times. Be sure the implement has stopped rotating
before carrying out any work.
15.Before cleaning, lubricating or adjusting the implement
or the p.t.o. shaft, disengage the p.t.o., stop the engine
and remove the ignition key.
16.Place the detached p.t.o. shaft onto its support.
17.After the p.t.o. shaft is detached place the protective
covering over the p.t.o. stub.
18.Damages have to be repaired at once before the
implement is set into operation.
23.Keep clear of the swinging area of the implement.
24.Hydraulically controlled hinged frames may only be
operated if nobody is standing in the danger area.
25.Caution when working on machine elements operated
by additional driving systems (e.g. hydraulics). Shearing
and pinching areas!
26.Before leaving the tractor lower the implement to the
ground, stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
27.Nobody is allowed to stand between tractor and imple-
ment as long as the vehicle is not secured against
unintentional movement by means of the parking brake
and/or chocks.
Mounted implements
1. Before mounting implements on/from the three-point
linkage, all controls have to be positioned in such a way
that any unintentional lifting or lowering of the machine
is impossible.
2. In case of three-point mounted implements it is essen-
tial that the hitch category of the implement matches
that of the tractor.
3. The three-point linkage includes shearing and pinching
areas.
4. When operating the outer controls of the three-point
linkage do not step between tractor and implement.
5. When the implement is in transport position assure at
all times a sufficient lateral limitation of the tractor
three-point linkage.
6. When travelling on public roads with implement raised
make sure the control lever is secured against lowe-
ring.
Power take-off operation
1. Do not use other p.t.o. shafts than those specified by
the manufacturer.
2. The guard tube and the funnel-shaped guard of the
p.t.o. shaft as well as the p.t.o. guard must be installed.
All guards must be in perfect working
condition.
3. Take notice of the overlap prescribed for p.t.o. shaft
tubes, both in transport and working positions.
