Attaching PTO Driven Implement

CQ214090-UN-08FEB07

CAUTION: Turn off engine before coupling implements or working near implement coupling zone.

1. Disconnect key switch to turn off engine.
2. If the implement driven by the PTO is going to be connected to the drawbar, it should be placed so as to leave a space of 355 mm (14.0 in.) between PTO shaft end and center of the drawbar hole. Make sure locking pins and spring pins of drawbar are in their place. If the implement is to be connected to the 3-point hitch, be sure the drawbar does not get in the way. Remove it if necessary. NOTE: There are two holes in the front part of the drawbar. Place the drawbar pin in the second hole to obtain the correct spacing of 355 mm (14.0 in.).
   
3. Couple implement to tractor before connecting U-joint drive shaft to PTO.
4. Lift PTO shield.

   With engine turned off, turn the shaft a little by hand to align the splines. Connect U-joint drive shaft to PTO shaft.

   Apply force to shaft, to make sure the coupling is firm.

   Lower PTO shield.

5. Check that shields are in their place and in good condition.

   Run PTO only if main shield is correctly installed.

   WITH ENGINE OFF, check integral U-joint shaft shields and make sure they turn freely on the shaft.

   Lubricate or repair as necessary.
