Attach PTO-Driven Implement

CAUTION: Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death.

Keep tractor PTO shield and driveline shields in place at all times. Make sure rotating shields turn freely.

Before making adjustments, connections or cleaning PTO driven equipment, STOP the engine and wait for PTO drivelines to stop.

1. Turn key to STOP position to shut off engine.

2. Put drawbar (A) in extended position. If implement will be connected to 3-point hitch, be sure drawbar will not interfere. Fully retract drawbar or remove it if necessary. (See "Select Drawbar Position" in this section.)

3. Install drawbar lock pin.

4. Attach implement to tractor (drawbar or 3-point hitch) before connecting PTO driveline. Raise hitch to full-up (transport) position if it is not to be used.

5. Flip PTO shield (B) up for clearance. With engine off, turn PTO shaft by hand to line up splines. Connect driveline to PTO shaft. Pull driveline to be sure it is locked to PTO shaft. Return PTO shield to down position.

6. Check that all shields are in place and in good condition. WITH ENGINE STOPPED, check driveline shields on driveline by making sure they rotate freely on shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.

CAUTION: Never operate PTO unless master shield is properly installed.

7. Check for interference.
