4.9 Particularities of the PTO Shaft and Cardan Shafts Usage

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN THE PTO SHAFT OPERATES AND THE
HITCHED MACHINE CARDAN SHAFT ROTATES. WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE
PTO SHAFT OPERATION AREA, THESE PEOPLE CAN BE DRAWN IN, SOME PARTS OF
CLOTHING CAN BE CATCHED BY ROTATING PARTS OF THE CARDAN SHAFT AND
OTHER MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE. THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES
AND DEATH, THEREFORE PRIOR TO PTO SHAFT ACTIVATION MAKE SURE THAT
THERE ARE NO PEOPLE IN DANGEROUS AREA BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND MA-
CHINE. ALL WORKS INVOLVED IN THE CARDAN SHAFT MAINTENANCE (ADJUST-
MENT, LUBRICATION ETC.), CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION SHALL BE PER-
FORMED ONLY WHEN THE PTO SHAFT IS DISCONNECTED AND THE TRACTOR EN-
GINE IS STOPPED. PRIOT TO INSTALLING THE CARDAN SHAFT, STOP THE ENGINE,
REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE STARTER AND INSTRUMENTS SWITCH AND
APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE!
ATTENTION: THE TRACTOR MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONCIBLE FOR
THE HITCHED MACHINES CARDAN SHAFTS BREAKAGES. THE MACHINES AND
CARDAN SHAFTS MANUFACTURER IS RESPONCIBLE FOR THE CARDAN SHAFTS
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN!
ATTENTION: WHEN THE REAR PTO SHAFT IS USED WITH ACTIVATED INDE-
PENDENT DRIVE, THE HITCHED MACHINE CARDAN SHAFT SHALL PROVIDE FOR
TRANSMISSION OF THE NOMINAL TORQUE AT ROTATION SPEED AT LEAST 540
RPM OR 1000 RPM DEPENDING ON SELECTED MODE!
ATTENTION: DO NOT USE THE CARDAN SHAFT WITHOUT CORRESPONDING
SAFETY DEVICES AND DO NOT USE SELF-MADE OR DAMAGED CARDAN SHAFTS!
ATTENTION: BE CAREFUL WHILE HITCHING THE MACHINES WITH CARDAN
