rectly used, can be dangerous and become a hazard

ment, always apply the tractor parking brake and
block the rear wheels front and back.

service P.T.O. driven equipment when the tractor en-
gine is running. Ensure that the P.T.O. is switched off.
5. Make sure the P.T.O. guard is in position at all
times and always replace the P.T.O. cap when the
