3.3 P.T.O. Operation (only with discharge unit)
Observe the operating instructions of the drive shaft manufacturer.
Only use the drive shafts specified by the manufacturer.
Mount and dismount the drive shaft only when the engine has been switched off and the igniti-
on key removed.
Only use the drive shaft with the proper safety guard and in good condition and with the pro-
tective tubes secured against twisting.
Ensure sufficient tube overlapping of the drive shaft.
When cornering and with overrunning brake, keep to the permitted bending range and ensure
adequate drive shaft leeway.
Before switching on the P.T.O. shaft make sure that the selected speed and sense of rotation of
the tractor P.T.O. corresponds to the permitted speed and sense of rotation of the machine.
Before every drive shaft start-up check that the locking mechanisms have locked into place
properly.
Never switch on the drive shaft with the engine switched off.
If drive shafts with overload or free wheel clutch are used, these types of clutch must be
mounted on the trailer side.
After the P.T.O. shaft has been switched off, the unit driven by it can run on.
Stay out of the danger zone until all the equipment has come to a standstill.
