Operating Power Take-Offs

CAUTION: Always disengage the PTO when not in use.

High-inertia implements do not come to a standstill the moment the PTO control lever is shifted to the disengaged position. Allow sufficient time for implements to "coast down" to a halt after disengaging the PTO.

The PTOs can be engaged and disengaged on the move without declutching, even under load. When a PTO is engaged, the relevant light (A) and/or (B) comes on.

To switch on the PTO, lift up the switch button and turn it to the right. To switch off the PTO, press the button down.

NOTE: If the engine is switched off and then restarted while the PTO is running, the PTO will not operate. Even so, lights (A) and (B) continue to shine and flash. Switch off PTO and then restart.

If the operator leaves his seat while the PTO is switched on, an audible signal will sound, the "CAUTION" light flashes and the light (A/B) glows, as a warning that the PTO is still engaged.

If the PTO does not reach a speed of 100 rpm within 20 seconds of being engaged, PTO will switch off automatically.

If the operator leaves his seat within 15 seconds of engaging the PTO, the system will monitor PTO speed for a further 5 seconds. If 100 rpm have not been reached, the PTO will switch off automatically.

NOTE: If PTO speed exceeds 620 rpm, the digital display and the "CAUTION" light flashes to warn if a 540 rpm PTO is being used. Actuate the roll-mode switch (C) to stop the flashing display (this may take up to 5 seconds). Flashing stops automatically when PTO speed drops below 590 rpm.

If the front PTO is not required for a lengthy period, the PTO gear can be disengaged by means of lever (A), thus preventing the gear train components from turning unnecessarily.

IMPORTANT: Engage PTO gear only when the engine is shut off.
