Crossing Ditches And Steep Inclines - Alamo none Operator's Manual

10.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines

When crossing ditches with steep banks or
going up sharp inclines, it is possible that the
main driveline inner profile will penetrate into
the outer housing to its maximum depth until the
assembly becomes solid (driveline is at its
extreme shortest length). This type of abusive
operation can cause serious damage to the
tractor and mower drive by pushing the PTO into
the tractor and through the support bearings or
downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off.
OPS-F-0049
Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline's inner profile and its outer housing
may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to
the operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement
