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.
When uncoupling the machine, rest the PTO shaft on the support specially provided, and replace
protective shield on the PTO stub of the tractor.
Read and follow the instructions in the operator's manual provided with the PTO shaft.
Precautions during maneuvers
When moving the machine from the transport position to the working position and vice versa, make sure
that nobody is within the machine pivoting area.
Remote controlled components
Danger of crushing and shearing can exist when components are operated by hydraulic or pneumatic
controls. Keep away from these danger zones.
