DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and
gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working
condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near

All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
