ghter to the accessory power takeoff.
Do not place foreign material on the power
takeoff, especially metal objects such as coins
or pieces of aluminum paper. These objects
may cause a short circuit and can damage
the power takeoff or the power supply circuit.
Install always the power takeoff protection co-
ver when out of use.
Overloading the accessories power takeoff
can cause a short circuit. Do not use adap-
tors or more than one equipment at the same
time, on the power takeoff.
If the supply connector of the equipment is
too loose or too tight on the power takeoff, a
bad contact may occur or the power takeoff
may stick. Use accessories that they adapt
perfectly to the power takeoff only.
Using an electric equipment too long while the
engine is shut-off can discharge the battery.
