Safety rules

Do not access the work area of the PTO drive shaft while it is rotating, as coming in contact with
it may cause serious injury. Do not wear work clothing with belts, loose tails or parts that can get
entangled. Before you start working, make sure that all PTO drive shaft, tractor and implement
machine guards are installed and e cient. Any damaged or missing components must be properly
replaced and installed before using the PTO drive shaft. Also see previous paragraph 7.
27.
Do not lean against the PTO drive shaft or use it as a step.
28.
Make sure the working area is properly lit up in case you need to approach the PTO drive shaft under
EN
conditions of poor lighting.
Check that the implement machine (whether it is stationary or non-stationary) is hooked up properly to
the tractor, or in any event suitably stabilized and blocked, before you start the PTO drive shaft.
There is a risk of the implement machine overturning.
E.
PTO drive shaft correct use
PTO drive shafts are used to transmit motion from the PTO of self-propelled machines (usually
the tractor) to the power implement connection (PIC) of the machine. In this case, they are called
primary shafts. In certain cases, they can also be used to transmit motion between two secondary
power take-o s installed inside an implement machine (which can also be the self-propelled type),
and in this case they are called secondary shafts.
ANY OTHER USE IS PROHIBITED AND MAY ENTAIL RISKS FOR THE OPERATOR.

Working conditions

29.
During work, do not exceed the speed limit, rotation or power speci ed in the implement machine
and the PTO drive shaft manuals. Avoid overloads and engagements under load of the drive.
Make sure the direction of rotation of the PTO drive shaft matches the direction of rotation of the
implement machine.

Working length and overlap

With regards to the telescopic pro les of the PTO drive shaft, the following working lengths can be
de ned:
"L" is the usable length of the telescopic pro les.
30.
"Lmin" is the minimum working length, as illustrated in the gure.
31.
"Lmax" is the maximum working length, as illustrated in the gure.
32.
"Ltemp" is the temporary working length that can be reached with no load and for short periods of
time, as shown in the gure.
5
Lmax = Lmin + ½ L
Ltemp = Lmin + / L
