2. If PTO driven implement will be attached to drawbar (A), the drawbar must be positioned so there is 355 mm (14 in.) between end of PTO shaft and center of drawbar pin hole. Make sure drawbar locking pins and spring pins are in place. If implement will be connected to 3-Point Hitch, be sure drawbar will not interfere. Remove it if necessary.

   NOTE: There are two holes at the front of the drawbar. Place the drawbar pin in the second hole for the proper 355 mm (14 in.) length.

3. Attach implement to tractor before connecting PTO drive line. Raise hitch to upward position if it is not to be used.

4. Rotate PTO shield upward for clearance. With engine off, turn shaft slightly by hand if necessary to line up splines. Connect drive line to PTO shaft. Pull out on shaft to be sure drive line is locked to PTO shaft. Place PTO shield in downward position.

5. Be sure 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 drive line by making sure they rotate freely on shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.

6. Check carefully for any interference, make sure hitch is raised to the upper position if it is not used.
