Stay Clear of Rotating Drivelines

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.

TS1644 —UN—22AUG95
Only use power take-off driveshafts with adequate guards
and shields.
Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure
that PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustments,
connections, or cleaning out PTO driven equipment.
Do not install any adapter device between the tractor and
the primary implement PTO driveshaft that will allow a
1000 rpm tractor shaft to power a 540 rpm implement at
speeds higher than 540 rpm.
Do not install any adapter device that results in a portion of
the rotating implement shaft, tractor shaft, or the adapter
to be unguarded. The tractor master shield shall overlap
the end of the splined shaft and the added adaptor device
as outlined in the table.
The angle at which the primary implement PTO driveshaft
can be inclined may be reduced depending on the shape
and size of the tractor master shield and the shape and
size of the guard of the primary implement PTO driveshaft.

H96219 —UN—29APR10
Do not raise implements high enough to damage the
tractor master shield or guard of primary implement PTO
driveshaft. Detach the PTO driveline shaft if it is necessary
to increase implement height. (See Attching/Detaching
PTO Driveline)
When using Type 3/4 PTO, inclination and turning angles
may be reduced depending on type of PTO master shield
and coupling rails.
