WARNING!
Handle all parts with utmost care. Never place your hands or fingers between
one part and the other. Wear safety clothes such as gloves, protective footwear
and goggles. The operation of shortening must be carried out with the utmost
care as the PTO shaft will have to be replaced if the telescopic shafts are
shortened to an excessive extent.
WARNING!
The PTO shaft should be mounted only during operation time and disconnected
from tractor PTO for transport and service.
WARNING!
The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by an incorrectly fitted
or used PTO shaft.
WARNING!
Use the machines with PTO shafts designed to drive them. Before the work
begins, check the safety guards (in tractor, mower and PTO shaft), if they are
placed correctly and are not damaged. Damaged or lost parts must be replaced
with genuine ones. Make sure the PTO shaft is properly mounted. It is forbidden
to approach the rotating parts, because it may lead to serious injuries or even
death. All service and repair operations must be done only after the tractor
engine has been stopped and ignition key off, all rotating parts have come to
the complete standstill and the cutterbar is on the ground. Before the operation
begins, read operator’s manuals of both the machine and PTO shaft.
