PTO Power Unit operating instructions
6. Place the two swing-bolts in the
slots of the tine attachment. Alter­
nating between the two bolts,
tighten each securely until the con­
cave washers on the bolts are flat.
The bolts must be very tight. If
using a torque wrench, tighten
each to 70-80 ft. lbs. See Photo 5-9.
IMPORTANT
The swing-bolts must be kept very
tight at all times to prevent undue
wear on the “dog” clutch coup­
lings, or on the alignment pin and
hole. Check bolts for tightness
after every
2
-V
2
hours of operation.
7. Remove the engine support be­
fore attempting to drive the unit in a
forward direction.
5-9: Tighten both swing-bolts.
A WARNING
To help avoid personal injury or
damage to equipment, read the
Owner/Operator Manual provided
with each attachment before at­
tempting to install or operate the
attachment. The Manual provides
a detailed description of proper
use and operation, and points out
other important Safety Instructions.
The following instructions de­
scribe how to operate the PTO
Power Unit ONLY. Read the sepa­
rate Owner/Operator Manual for
each attachment carefully before
attempting to assemble, attach,
transport or operate the attach­
ment. If you do not have a Manual,
call or write us for a replace­
ment copy (be sure to supply us
with the serial number of your
attachment).
Some attachments have a drive
shaft or a hydraulic pump that is
powered by the engine on the PTO
Power Unit. These attachments are
called “Stationary Attachments”,
because they must remain in a
stationary position when being op­
erated (they can be towed to the
work site by the power unit, as
described in “To Operate Non-
Powered Attachments”).
Other attachments are simply
pulled or towed behind the PTO
Power Unit. These attachments
are called “Non-Powered At­
tachments”.
A WARNING
To help avoid personal injury, al­
ways disengage the Tines/PTO
Clutch Lever before towing any
attachment.
Before starting engine:
IMPORTANT
Before operating in temperatures
below 40'^'F., refer to the "Cold
Weather Operation” instructions in
Section 3 of this Manual.
1. Put the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive
Lever in “NEUTRAL”. To find “NEU­
TRAL” (while engine is not run­
ning), push the lever down unti it
engages in “FORWARD”. Then tap
or lift the lever up and release it.
(Photo 5-4).
2. Put the Tines/PTO Clutch in
“DISENGAGE”.
3. FOR STATIONARY ATTACH­
MENTS ONLY:
(a) Put the Wheel Speed Lever in
“FREE WHEEL” and block ALL
wheels to prevent rolling of
equipment. (See Photo 5-4 and
Figure 5-10).
