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
ignition key removed.
Only use the drive shaft with the proper safety guards and in good condition as well as
making sure the protective tubes are secured against twisting.
Ensure sufficient tube overlapping on 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.
