PTO Operation Safety (Continued)
To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog, or service PTO driven equipment when the tractor engine is running
When finished with the operation of PTO driven equipment, shift the PTO control to neutral, shut off the engine, remove the key,
and wait until the PTO stops before exiting the tractor
Implement input drivelines, clutches, and freewheels are designed for specific machine types and power requirements
They must not be replaced by any shaft other than that recommended by the implement manufacturer Note the Operating
Instructions from both the tractor manufacturer and the implement manufacturer Ensure the implement driveline is securely
connected at both ends
Only use a completely guarded drive system (Figure 1) PTO drive systems with complete guarding include: the tractor master
shield, the implement driveline guard (end cones, telescoping section sleeves, guard chain), and the implement safety shield
These safety devices must be installed at all times
If any component of the guarding system has been removed for any reason, it must be repaired or replaced prior to operation
of the machine
Safety Signs and Decals
Safety signs or decals provide very important information and instructions
designed to alert you to dangers and hazards which can be present during
operation of this equipment These safety signs and decals MUST be read,
understood, and followed to be effective
Replacement of Safety Signs and Decals
Safety signs and decals must be kept clean and readable If they become
unreadable for any reason, they must be replaced with an identical
replacement sign or decal Safety signs and decals must also be replaced
if damaged when repairing this equipment or if not included with the
replacement part
Application of Safety Decals
Surface preparation is very important for the safety decals to properly adhere
Grease, oil, and dirt must be removed and the surface must be smooth and
dry After wiping the surface clean, use an ammonia-free window cleaner to
provide the best surface for decal adherence
Most decals have a split backing which is meant to be removed from the split
outward To apply decals, follow these steps:
1
Position the decal in the proper location and hold firmly over the
largest portion of the backing
2
Use one hand to hold the decal in position With the other hand,
carefully roll the loose end over and peel the backing outward
When the backing is removed as shown in Figure 3 and with even
and gradual pulling, the decal will roll onto the surface smooth and
wrinkle free,
3
With the smallest portion of the decal attached, the repeat Step 2 for
the other half of the decal
When the decal has been attached in place, use a cloth or soft paper towel
to burnish the decal onto the cleaned surface Work gently from the middle
outwards to avoid creating any wrinkles and to remove any air bubbles
