Power Takeoff Guards

All tractors have a safety guard for the Rear PTO shaft and safety cover for the Mid PTO shaft.

Whenever a PTO driven machine is in operation, the PTO guard must be in place for most operations to prevent injury to the operator or bystanders. Where attachments, such as pumps, are installed on the PTO shaft (especially if the tractor PTO guard is moved upward or removed) extended shielding equivalent to the PTO guard must be installed with the attachment. Install the PTO guard to its original position immediately when the attachment is removed.
