Entanglement with rotating machinery can cause injury or death. To avoid entanglement, do not approach or work on the PTO shaft or equipment with the PTO in operation. Shut off the engine and allow the PTO to come to a stop before working on the PTO or equipment. Never stand on the machine's PTO shield during PTO operation. |

When you operate PTO driven implements, center and lock the drawbar in order to avoid possible machine and/or implement damage. Attach the implement to the machine before you connect the PTO. |
| NOTICE |
|---|
When you operate the machine on uneven terrain, the PTO shaft may interfere with the following components: drawbar pin, retainer for the drawbar pin and top plate of the drawbar. Use caution in order to avoid contact. Contact may result in damage to the PTO shaft shield or to the PTO shaft. |
- Attach the implement to the machine. See Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Attaching and Detaching Drawbar Implements" and see Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Attaching and Detaching Three-Point Implements".
Note: On implements that are attached to the drawbar, make sure that the drawbar is secured in order to prevent swing.
- Stop the engine. Lower all implements. Make sure that the PTO is stopped.
- Remove bolts (1) and cover (2). Store the cover.

- Attach the drive shaft from the implement to the PTO shaft on the machine. Make sure that the yoke is properly positioned. Also, make sure that the yoke is securely locked.
- Make sure that the PTO cannot experience the following conditions:
- The PTO shaft should not become extended too far.
- The PTO shaft should not bottom out.
- The PTO shaft should not reach an excessive angle while you operate the machine.
Note: A PTO shaft is extended too far when the shaft is within 152 mm (6 inch) from uncoupling.
Note: A PTO shaft bottoms out when the drive shaft is within 25.4 mm (1 inch) of the collapsed length of the drive shaft.
- The PTO shaft should not become extended too far.
Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct installed length and angle of operation for the PTO shaft.
Note: After you detach PTO implements, make sure that you reinstall the cover for the PTO shaft.
