PTO OPERATING SAFETY
For the safe operation of the PTO, follow these safe operating procedures.
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 drawer 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.
When doing stationary PTO work and dismounting from the tractor
with the PTO running, keep clear of all moving parts as they are
a potential safety hazard.
IMPORTANT: Follow the implement manufacturers recommendations in
adjusting and aligning the implement and implement driveline with the tractor.
PTO driven machinery can cause serious injury. Before working on
or near the PTO shaft, or servicing or clearing the driven machine,
put the PTO lever in the DISENGAGE position and STOP the engine.
