Safety
12
Never work on the machine while it is running
No operations may be performed on the machine while it is running.
Objects or persons can be caught, drawn in or crushed. Serious or fa-
tal injury may be caused as a result.
Safety distance from raised and unsecured loads
Never work under suspended loads. Maintain a sufficient distance
from raised and unsecured loads. Otherwise, serious or fatal injury
may be caused as a result.
Only use the PTO shaft specified
Only use PTO shafts which have been specified by the manufacturer.
•
Read the attached operating manual carefully. Otherwise, damage
to the machine and serious or fatal injury may be caused as a
result.
•
Adjust the length of the PTO shaft, if required. Incorrect PTO shaft
lengths can cause damage to the machine and personal injury.
•
Other PTO shafts with disconnect couplings may allow higher
disconnect torques. Higher disconnect torques may cause
damage to the machine.
Check and fasten the PTO shaft guard in position
The rotating PTO shaft is protected by the PTO shaft guard. Ensure
that the guard is not damaged. Fasten the PTO shaft guard in position
by connecting the chains on the implement and the tractor. Unguarded
PTO shafts can cause life-threatening injuries.
PTO shaft speed 540 rpm
The specified maximum PTO shaft speed of 540 rpm must not be
exceeded. A higher PTO shaft speed will damage the machine.
Make sure the machine is standing level
Before changing from the transport to the work position (and vice
versa), make sure the machine is standing level. The machine could
tip over, particularly on hillside locations. The machine could be dama-
ged and serious or fatal injuries could be caused.
