Safety Precautions
General Safety Information
To prevent injury to yourself and /or damage to the equipment:
• Read carefully all owners manuals, service manuals,
and/or other instructions.
• Always follow proper procedures and use proper
tools and safety equipment.
• Be sure to receive proper training.
• Never work alone while under a vehicle or while re-
pairing or maintaining equipment.
• Always use proper components in applications for
which they are approved.
• Be sure to assemble components properly.
• Never use worn-out or damaged components.
• Always block any raised or moving device that may
injure a person working on or under a vehicle.
• Never operate the controls of the power take-off or
other driven equipment from any position that could
result in getting caught in the moving machinery.
WARNING: ROTATING DRIVESHAFTS
• Rotating auxiliary driveshafts are dangerous. You can
snag clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can cause
serious injury or death.
• Do not go under the vehicle when the engine is run-
ning.
• Do not work on or near an exposed shaft when engine
is running.
• Shut off engine before working on power take-off or
driven equipment.
• Exposed rotating driveshafts must be guarded.
WARNING: GUARDING AUXILIARY DRIVESHAFTS
We strongly recommend that a power take-off and a directly
mounted pump be used to eliminate the auxiliary driveshaft
whenever possible. If an auxiliary driveshaft is used and re-
mains exposed after installation, it is the responsibility of the
vehicle designer and PTO installer to install a guard.
WARNING: USING SET SCREWS
Auxiliary driveshafts may be installed with either recessed or
protruding set screws. If you choose a square head set screw,
you should be aware that it will protrude above the hub of the
yoke and may be a point where clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc.
could be snagged. A socket head set screw, which may not
protrude above the hub of the yoke, does not permit the same
amount of torquing as does a square head set screw. Also a
square head set screw, if used with a lock wire, will prevent
loosening of the screw caused by vibration. Regardless of the
choice made with respect to a set screw, an exposed rotating
auxiliary driveshaft must be guarded.
WARNING: THIS SYMBOL WARNS OF POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
