Attaching implements to the power take-off

Before attaching implements to the tractor power take-off (PTO), make sure the
implement is designed for the used PTO speed (540 rpm or 1 000 rpm).
CAUTION: Observe all safety precautions in any operation involving
implements driven by the PTO.
WARNING: Stop the engine and disengage the PTO before attaching
any implement to the tractor. Check that the implement's working area
is clear before engaging the PTO.
WARNING: When a PTO-driven implement is being used, no
personnel are allowed near the PTO drive shaft. Service work on the
PTO drive shaft should be carried out with the PTO disengaged, the
engine stopped and the ignition key removed from the ignition switch.
GUID-71E785E6-9D64-49D2-868B-D62ACDCCEE89
WARNING: After the PTO is disengaged, the implement continues to
rotate for some time (regardless of braking). Do not approach the
implement until it has stopped completely.
WARNING: The cover over the PTO drive shaft end should always be
attached when the PTO is not in use.
