IMD LLC_____________________________________________________ General Safety Instructions Mechanical danger Operate the generator and tractor only when all protective devices have been installed properly and correctly. Before starting up the tractor, make sure that no one is standing in close proximity to the tractor or generator, particularly children.
The generator can tip over, causing serious personal injury and damage. And therefore the generator must be secured on a concrete foundation or device approved in writing by IMD LLC. Danger from exhaust fumes Tractor engines emit poisonous carbon monoxide gas through their exhaust systems.

IMD LLC_____________________________________________________ Preparing for use - Delivery conditions The power take-off generator is delivered fully assembled on a pallet. Before using the generator for the first time, fill the gearbox with gear oil according to specifications (see page 24) and fit the guard for the PTO shaft according to the instructions of the PTO manufacturer.
7. Tighten all nuts securely and check periodically and re-tighten as necessary. Optional 3-point hitch A 3-point hitch frame can be ordered from IMD if the PTO generator needs to be moved frequently. This hitch frame will be connected to the tractor’s three-point hydraulic system (see Accessories section page 27).
IMD LLC_____________________________________________________ Optional Heavy Duty Trailer Using an IMD trailer is another option for increasing the stability and mobility of the PTO generator (see Accessories section page 27). Mounting the PTO generator on the trailer will give it sufficient stability so that it does not tip over during service and also allows it to be easily moved from one location to another.
