securely attached to both the tractor and attachment
gearboxes.
Before every use, check the PTO shaft u-joints to make
sure they are not damaged or worn. Simply lift up and
down on the shaft when it is securely connected to both
pieces of equipment. If there is excessive movement then
the PTO shaft may need to be replaced.
If there is excessive vibration during operation, disengage
the PTO switch, set the brake, stop the engine, remove
the ignition key and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and
immediately inspect the PTO shaft. Refer to

hours (50 hours for extended intervals).

specification and containing no more than 1%
Molybdenum Disulfide.
