Before engaging the PTO make sure that the area of danger around the implement is free of
bystanders.
•
Never engage the PTO when the engine is switched off.
•
When working with the PTO, keep the area around the rotating PTO and drive shaft clear of
any bystanders.
•
Always disengage the PTO where the bends are too big and it is not needed.
•
Caution! Beware of after-running gyrating loads after disengaging the PTO! Do not stand too
close to the implement during this time. Only begin working on it once it has come to a
complete standstill. It is essential that you switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
•
Before cleaning, greasing or adjusting a PTO-driven implement or its drive shaft, always
disengage the PTO, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
•
Place the uncoupled drive shaft on the specified support.
•
Cover the stump of the PTO with a protective cover after dismounting the drive shaft.
•
Any damage which may arise should be repaired immediately. Never work with a damaged
implement.
2.4 Hydraulic Equipment
•
Hydraulic equipment is under very high pressure.
•
When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors ensure that the hydraulic hoses are
connected as specified.
•
When connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor’s hydraulics ensure that the hydraulics are
depressurized on the tractor and the implement.
•
Where it is necessary to connect hydraulic functions between the tractor and the implement,
the coupling sockets and plugs should be marked to prevent faulty operation.
Mixing up the connections will reverse the functions (e.g. lift/lower) -
Risk of injury
!
•
Check the hydraulic hose connections at regular intervals and replace if damaged or aged. The
replacement hydraulic hoses must comply with the technical requirements stipulated by the
implement manufacturer.
•
When looking for leaks, use suitable aids and resources to prevent injury.
