DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will increase
strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing possible
damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose
of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a tractor that is too small or too large. Small
tractors can be pushed around and flipped over. Large
tractors can damage the attached implement.
•
Power take-off damage may occur if distances are not
The 14" (36 cm) between center of drawbar hitch pin hole
to end of power take-off shaft and 8" (20 cm) from top of
drawbar hitch to center of power take-off shaft must be
maintained.
