A - Drawbar

B - PTO Shield

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

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

   Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustments, connections, or cleaning out PTO driven equipment.

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

6. Check that all shields are in place and in good condition. Never operate PTO unless master shield is properly installed. WITH ENGINE STOPPED, check integral shields on driveline by making sure they rotate freely on shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.

7. Check for interference.
