and depress the clutch pedal to avoid internal transmission damage.

10. Rear P.T.O. shaft/shaft cover
The rear P.T.O. shaft is a coupling device which is used to transmit power
from the engine to an attachment installed at the rear of the tractor.
Install the cover over the shaft whenever the rear P.T.O. shaft is not used.
1 Operating the tractor without installing the cover over the
shaft is very hazardous because clothing or other articles may be caught
on the rotating shaft.
