PRE-OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
- Be sure to disengage the PTO shaft and turn off
the tractor before making any inspections or working around the
PTO driveline.
- Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for
attaching the implement to the tractor. Make sure the distance
from the tractor PTO shaft to the hole in the drawbar is the distance
recommended by the implement manufacturer in the operator’s
manual. (5)
- If your drawbar has an offset end, be sure it is
in the down position so it won’t interfere with the driveline
guard when you are using PTO-driven equipment. Make sure your
three-point hitch and drawbar are correctly positioned so neither
interferes with the driveline. Lock the three-point hitch when
you are not using it.
- Use a drawbar hitch pin with a low head.
When the hitch pin or other parts of the drawbar connection are
too close to the driveline, field operation on uneven or terraced
terrain will often result in guard damage. (6)
