THE FUNCTION OF PTO DRIVELINE AND SHIELDING

What is the function of a PTO driveline and shielding system?

The PTO driveine transmits power from the tractor to the implement. It must be able to operate safely across a wide range of performance demands and different environmental conditions. The driveline shielding system can help you ensure your own personal safety and the safety of others. The purpose of the driveline shielding system is to help prevent inadvertent contact and entanglement in the driveline.

The total shielding system includes the tractor master shield, driveline guards, and implement shield.

Because you and others are around drivelines, the purpose of this booklet is to help you use drivelines carefully and thoughtfully and to remind you to:

keep all guards and shields in place. The tractor master shield and implement shield must be installed to work with the driveline guard and provide the intended coverage. (3)
