Guarding PTO Drive Shafts

PTO drive systems can be dangerous and when used, additional

safety precautions, including guarding, may be required and must be

provided by the drive system installer. Roper Pump Company has no

responsibility for recommending or providing proper guarding or other

safety measures in any particular application.

The installation of proper guards for the power take-off and its

associated equipment is the responsibility of the drive system designer

and the installer who know the particular product application and the

user’s exposure to danger. The ultimate responsibility for the safe

application and installation is the user’s.

Operating without guards could

result in serious injury or death.

Machinery in operation can grab,

crush, cut, mangle and

dismember. Do not operate

without adequate guards in place.
