2. Range shift lever in NEUTRAL (N), key to OFF position to STOP the engine and set brakes.

3. If PTO driven implement is attached to the fixed drawbar (A), the drawbar must be positioned so there is 355 mm (14 in) between end-of-PTO shaft and center of the drawbar pin hole. Make sure that drawbar locking pins and spring pins are in place. If implement is connected to 3-Point Hitch, be sure that drawbar does 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.

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 that drive line is locked to PTO shaft. Place PTO shield in downward position.

5. Be sure that all shields are in place and in good condition. NEVER operate PTO unless master shield is properly installed. STOP the engine, check integral shields on the drive line by making sure that they rotate freely on shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.

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