PTO shaft
Use only PTO shafts supplied with the machine or
recommended by the machine manufacturer.
The protective shield of the tractor PTO stub, the PTO
shaft guards and the protective shield of the machine
input shaft must always be in place and in good
condition.
Make sure that the PTO shaft guards are secured with
the safety chains provided. Check that the PTO shaft
guard can turn freely a full rotation independent of the
shaft.
Any worn or damaged guards must be replaced
immediately. A worn guard or an unprotected PTO shaft
can cause a serious or even a lethal accident.
Do not wear loose clothing that could be caught in the
rotating PTO shaft.
Before attaching or removing a PTO shaft, or before
doing any work on the machine, disengage the PTO
drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and wait
for all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
If the primary PTO shaft is equipped with a torque limiter
or a free wheel, these must be fitted on the machine
side.
Ensure that the PTO shaft is always correctly fitted and
locked into place.
Before connecting the PTO shaft, ensure that the PTO
speed (rotational frequency) and direction of rotation are
in line with the machine manufacturer's
recommendations.
Before engaging the PTO drive, make sure all people
and animals are clear from the machine. Never engage
the PTO drive when the tractor engine is stopped.
