Pickup Difficulties
Prevent bodily injury or death. Never work on a machine
while it is running. Driveline can continue turning after disengaging
the PTO. Stay clear of the machine until it has come to a complete
stop. Shut off engine, remove key from ignition, set parking brake,
and engage the flywheel brake before repair or servicing.
Only restart the machine once the cause is identified and resolved.
