PTO ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS
KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING DRIVELINES AND ELEMENTS TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH:
STAY AWAY
and KEEP hands, feet and body AWAY from rotating blades, drivelines and parts until all moving
elements have stopped.
• STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before approaching the mower to make sure all rotating motion has stopped.
• ROTATING COMPONENTS CONTINUE to ROTATE after the PTO is shut off.
PTO SHIELDING:
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM ENTANGLEMENT WHEN OPERATING IMPLEMENT:
• KEEP PTO shields, integral driveline shields and input shields installed
• DO NOT OPERATE mower without shields and guards in place or missing
• REPAIR OR REPLACE if damage, broken or missing
• ALWAYS REPLACE GUARDS that have been removed for service or maintenance.
• Do Not use PTO or PTO guard as a step.
TO AVOID
broken driveline during operations:
• CHECK driveline for proper length between PTO shaft and implement gearbox shaft.(Refer to Instructions in
Operation Section)
• Drivelines too short can pull apart or disengage.
• Drivelines too long can bottom out.
Bottoming driveline telescoping assembly will stop sliding and become solid.
• Driveline bottoming can push through support bearings and break off PTO shaft
• AVOID sharp turns or lift mower to heights to cause driveline "knocking".
• Lubricate driveshaft-telescoping components weekly.
CONTACT DEALER
if implement driveline does not match Tractor PTO shaft:
• DO NOT USE PTO ADAPTER.
Using a PTO adapter can cause excessive vibration, thrown objects, blade and implement failures by
doubling operating speed. Increased working length exposing unshielded driveline areas. PN PE01
