Pto Operation (Without Operator In Seat); Extention / Clevis Drawbar; Towing The Tractor - Shibaura ST450 Operator's Manual

PTO OPERATION
(WITHOUT OPERATOR IN SEAT)
To operate the PTO without the operator being in
the seat, the following operations must be
performed:
• Transmission range lever is in "NEUTRAL"
position
• Parking brake is in "applied" position
IMPORTANT: If the operator leaves the seat
without the transmission range lever in the
"NEUTRAL" position and with the PTO engaged,
the engine will shut off in approximately two
seconds.
EXTENSION / CLEVIS DRAWBAR
Your tractor is equipped with a extension / clevis
type drawbar (1) in Figure 2-38, for towing
equipment behind the tractor. This drawbar may
be extended by sliding it rearwards, 145 mm and
capable of 755daN vertical load and the following
permissible towable mass depending on the
trailed vehicle brake system.
Unbraked towable mass: 3,000kg
Independently - braked: 4,190kg
Inertia - braked: 3,800kg
Assisted – braked: N/A
IMPORTANT: When transporting equipment on
highways, a safety chain with a tensile strength
equal to the gross weight of the implement should
always be installed between the tractor and the
implement hitch.
WARNING
Pull only from the drawbar. Always use the
drawbar or the lower links in the lowered
position, when performing pull-type work.
Make sure that the weight of a trailed vehicle
that is not equipped with brakes does NOT
EXCEED one and half times of the Tractor
weight.
Stopping distance increases with increased
speed as the weight of the towed load
increases, especially hills and slopes.
Use extreme caution and keep safe travelling
speeds for avoid hard application of the
tractor brakes.
