PTO OPERATING SAFETY
For the safe operation of the PTO, follow these safe operating proce-
dures.
Three Point Hitch Connecting Implements
1. Connect the implement to the hitch.
See THREE POINT HITCH SYSTEM in this manual.
2. Connect the implement driveline to the tractor.
3. Check the driveline for correct length and for free telescopic
movement by lifting and lowering hitch system. The correct length is
important to prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from
separating in any tractor implement operating position.
Drawbar Connecting Implements
1. Connect the implement hitch to the drawbar with a hardened steel
pin. Make sure the pin is securely held in place with a cotter pin or
lock pin and does not make contact with the implement driveline.
2. Connect the implement hitch to the tractor drawbar before connecting
the implement driveline to the PTO.
3. Connect the implement driveline to the tractor. Check the driveline for
correct length and for free telescopic movement. The correct length is
important to prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from
separating in any tractor or implement operating position.
IMPORTANT:
Follow the implement manufacturers recommendations in
adjusting and aligning the implement and implement driveline with the
tractor.
