Once the PTO has been inserted at low rpm, begin gradually raising engine rpm until it reaches the normal
operating level.
Wait until the flail shaft rotor reaches maximum speed before proceeding with mowing.

Whenever unusual noises and/or vibrations occur, immediately uncouple the PTO.
CAUTION
Accelerate the tractor slowly and smoothly until optimum work speed is reached (see Chapter 5).
