PTO ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS
KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING DRIVELINES AND ELEMENTS TO AVOID DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY:
STAY AWAY and KEEP hands, feet and body AWAY from rotating blades, drivelines and parts until all
moving elements have stopped.
•
STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before approaching the mower to make sure all rotating motion has stopped.
•
ROTATING COMPONENTS CONTINUE to ROTATE after the PTO is shut off.
PTO SHIELDING:
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM ENTANGLEMENT WHEN OPERATING IMPLEMENT:
KEEP PTO shields, integral driveline shields and input shields installed
•
•
DO NOT OPERATE mower without shields and guards in place or missing
•
REPAIR OR REPLACE if damage, broken or missing
•
ALWAYS REPLACE GUARDS that have been removed for service or maintenance.
•
Do Not use PTO or PTO guard as a step.
TO AVOID broken driveline during operations:
•
CHECK driveline for proper length between PTO shaft and implement gearbox shaft.(Refer to Instructions
in Operation Section)
•
Drivelines too short can pull apart or disengage.
•
Drivelines too long can bottom out.
•
Bottoming driveline telescoping assembly will stop sliding and become solid.
•
Driveline bottoming can push through support bearings and break off PTO shaft
•
AVOID sharp turns or lift mower to heights to cause driveline "knocking".
•
Lubricate driveshaft-telescoping components weekly.
CONTACT DEALER if implement driveline does not match Tractor PTO shaft:
•
DO NOT USE PTO ADAPTER.
Using a PTO adapter can cause excessive vibration, thrown objects, blade and implement failures by doubling
operating speed. Increased working length exposing unshielded driveline areas.
