Uncoupling the PTO shaft
WARNING
Risk of crushing or impact if there is insufficient clearance when
uncoupling the PTO shaft.
First uncouple the machine from the tractor before uncoupling the
PTO shaft from the tractor. This will ensure the necessary clearance
for safe uncoupling of the PTO shaft.
CAUTION
Risk of burning on hot components of the PTO shaft.
This danger can cause minor to serious injuries to the hands.
Do not touch components of the PTO shaft that have become hot
(particularly clutches).
•
Store the uncoupled PTO shaft in the holder provided. This pro-
tects the PTO shaft from damage and dirt.
Never use the supporting chain on the PTO shaft to hang up the
uncoupled PTO shaft.
•
Clean and lubricate the PTO shaft if it is going to be out of use
for a long time.
1. Uncouple the machine from the tractor.
Refer to the section "Uncoupling the ma-
chine", page 151.
2. Drive the tractor up to the machine, leaving
a clearance of approximately 25 cm be-
tween the tractor and the machine.
3. Secure the tractor against unintentional
starting and rolling, see the section "Secur-
ing the tractor against unintentional starting
and rolling", starting on page 143.
4. Pull the latch of the PTO shaft off the uni-
versal joint shaft of the tractor. Observe the
operating manual supplied with the PTO
shaft when uncoupling the PTO shaft.
5. Place the PTO shaft in the holder provided.
6. Clean and lubricate the PTO shaft if it is not
going to be used for a longer period of time.
