CAUTION:
When using links to lift the machine suspended on 3-point linkage, PTO speed
should be reduced or absolutely it off at the angle of shaft work more than 25°.
CAUTION:
Before approaching any operation adjust length of PTO shaft for tractor-
machine aggregate by shortening it (see Section 5.5. or instructions of PTO
shaft shortening); next check if the shaft's length in transport position (when
should be the shortest) is properly adjusted, and if need be re-shorten the PTO
shaft.

plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their small chains to immovable parts of tractor and
rake.

If need be, shorten the PTO haft according to its operator’s manual given by
the shaft’s manufacturer (
