CAUTION:
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and
disconnected from tractor PTO for transport and service.
NOTICE:
The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by an incorrectly
fitted or used PTO shaft.
CAUTION:
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the work
begins, check the safety guards (in tractor, rake and PTO shaft), if they are
placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts must be
replaced with genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly mounted. It
is forbidden to approach the rotating parts, because it may lead to serious
injuries or even death. All service and repair operations must be done only
after the tractor engine has been stopped and ignition key off, all rotating
parts have come to the complete standstill and the cutterbar is on the ground.
Before the operation begins, read operator’s manuals of both the machine
and PTO shaft.
