5.4. Mounting PTO shaft
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower’s side.
When connecting PTO shaft between tractor and mower make sure, that external guard tube of the
shaft is on the tractor’s side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their small
chains to immovable parts of tractor and mower.
CAUTION:
If need be, shorten the PTO shaft according to its operator’s manual.
CAUTION:
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and
disconnected from tractor PTO for transport and service.
CAUTION:
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the
work begins, check the safety guards (in tractor, mower and PTO shaft),
if they are placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts
must be replaced with genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly
mounted. It is forbidden to approach the rotating parts, because it may
lead to serious injuries or even death. All service and repair operations
must be done only after the tractor engine has been stopped, all rotating
parts have come to the complete standstill and the cutterbar is on the
ground. Before the operation begins, read operator’s manuals of both the
machine and PTO shaft.
CAUTION:
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower’s
side.
