8.1 P.T.O. Shaft Operator Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS STOP ENGINE BEFORE ATTACHING THE
TRANSMISSION SHAFT TO TRACTOR P.T.O. - MOST
TRACTOR P.T.O. SHAFTS CAN BE ROTATED BY HAND
TO FACILITATE SPLINE ALIGNMENT, WHEN ENGINE
IS STOPPED.
When attaching the shaft, make sure that the snap lock is FULLY
ENGAGED - push and pull shaft until it locks.
WARNING: ROTATING TRANSMISSION SHAFTS WITHOUT
PROTECTION GUARDS ARE FATAL.
Always keep protection guards and chains intact and make sure that it
covers all rotating parts, including CV-joints at each end of the shaft. Do
not use without protection guard.
Do not touch or stand on the transmission shaft when it is rotating - safety
distance: min 5' (1.5 meters).
Prevent protection guards from rotating by attaching the chains allowing
sufficient slack for turns.
Always STOP ENGINE and remove the ignition key before carrying out
maintenance or repairs to the transmission shaft or implement.
