Switching From Transport To Working Position - SaMASZ P4-471 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the work
begins, check the safety guards (in tractor, tedder and PTO shaft), if they are
placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts must be
replaced with genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly mounted. It
is forbidden to approach the rotating parts, because it may lead to serious
injuries or even death. All service and repair operations must be done only
after the tractor engine has been stopped, all rotating parts have come to the
complete standstill and the machine is on the ground. Before the operation
begins, read operator's manuals of both the machine and PTO shaft.
NOTICE:
If need be, shorten the PTO shaft according to its operator's manual given by
the shaft's manufacturer (Fig. 15).
NOTICE:
PTO shaft's end with friction clutch should be mounted on tedder's side.
NOTICE:
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and
disconnected from tractor PTO for transport and service.
