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
