OPERATION
PTO Safety (if equipped)
WARNING!
• Do Not exceed the rated attachment PTO speed.
• Stay clear of rotating driveline.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing and long hair away.
• Keep PTO shields and all guards in place.
• Disengage PTO, put transmission in Park, stop the engine and make sure all rotating components
are stopped before exiting utility vehicle.
• Do NOT service the utility vehicle or implement with the PTO engaged.
• Do NOT service the implement in a raised position unless properly blocked and with all rotating
components stopped.
• Disengage PTO for road travel.
WARNING! Before you leave the operator’s seat:
• Park on flat level ground.
• Lower the attachment arm, put the attachment flat on the ground.
• Press the brake pedal and move the gear selector lever to PARK.
• Disengage the PTO and make sure all rotating components are completely stopped.
• Stop the engine and remove the key.
WARNING! Warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine are for your protection.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions can cause serious injury or death.
• Keep all shields in place. Replace damaged or missing shields before operating
• Follow warnings and instructions on machine signs (decals). Replace damaged or missing decals.
• Do not wear loose or bulky clothing around the PTO or other moving parts.
• Keep bystanders away from PTO driven equipment, and never allow children near machines.
• Read and understand the manuals for the PTO driven equipment and be aware of safe operating
procedures and hazards that may not be readily apparent.
• Always walk around equipment to avoid coming near a turning PTO driveline. Stepping over, leaning
across or crawling under a turning PTO driveline can lead to entanglement.
• Do not install an adapter between the machine PTO shaft and the attachment PTO driveline.
• Never overspeed the PTO. See attachment Owner’s Manual for correct PTO speed.
• Position the machine and attachment correctly to prevent driveline stress and separation.
• Use caution when raising PTO driven attachment. Excessive driveline angle can reduce driveline
service life.
• Do not engage the PTO system at higher engine RPM with attachment under load. Always engage
the PTO system at a lower engine RPM and with attachment under a no load condition.
WARNING! Driveline Entanglement Or Overspeeding PTO Can Cause Serious Injury Or Death
• DO NOT install an adapter between the utility vehicle PTO shaft and the attachment PTO driveline.
• An adapter can extend the driveline universal joint and connecting yoke beyond the PTO shields.
• An adapter can overspeed the attachment PTO causing driveline or attachment damage.
