Hitching the
machine
Increased risk of injury
While hitching the machine to the tractor there is an increased danger
of injury. Therefore always:
•
Secure the tractor and the machine from rolling and sliding away.
•
Switch off all hydraulic systems.
•
Switch off all electronic systems.
•
Switch off the engine.
•
Remove the ignition key.
•
Never stay between the tractor and the machine during hitching.
Failure to comply may cause damage to the machine and even life
threatening injuries.
PTO drive shaft
PTO drive shaft
Only use the PTO drive shaft complying with the manufacturer’s
specification. Other PTO drive shafts with slip clutches can permit
higher torques, which can damage the machine.
PTO drive shaft operation manual
Regard to the manufacturer’s operation manual of the PTO drive shaft
for correct use. Obey all instructions, particularly the safety and
maintenance instructions mentioned in the PTO drive shaft manual.
Negligence can lead to damages at the PTO drive shaft and to the
machine.
Fix and check PTO drive shaft protection
The rotating PTO drive shaft is secured by a PTO drive shaft
protection. Take care that the PTO drive shaft protection is not
damaged. Fix the PTO drive shaft protection both to the tractor and the
machine, to prevent the protection cover from rotating. Unprotected
PTO drive shafts can cause serious personal injuries.
PTO speed 1000 rpm
The prescribed PTO speed of maximum 1000 rpm may not be
exceeded. Higher PTO speeds can damage the machine.
Do not compress the PTO drive shaft
During operation or transport the PTO drive shaft may not be
compressed. Compressed PTO drive shafts can cause damages to the
tractor and machine.
