Increased risk of injury
Connecting the PTO shaft creates an increased risk of injury.
Therefore:
•
Install only the PTO shaft supplied or one of an identical type
•
When attaching it ensure that the PTO shaft locks engage se-
curely
•
When operating the machine, make sure that the PTO speed is
correct.
Failure to observe these instructions may result in serious or fatal
injuries.
Observe the maximum permissible deflection angle of the PTO
shaft
If the machine is in work position, the deflection angle of the PTO
shaft must not exceed 20°.
The maximum permissible deflection angle for the PTO shaft is 25°.
Lifting the machine beyond this
deflection angle
can cause signifi-
cant damage to the machine.
