Operating Power Take-Offs
CAUTION:
Always disengage the PTO when not in use.
CAUTION:
High-inertia implements do not come to a standstill the moment the PTO control lever is shifted to the disengaged position. Do NOT approach the implement while it is "coasting down". Do not work on the implement until it has stopped.
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.
On tractors with AutoPowr, an acoustic alarm warns the operator if he vacates his seat while the PTO is still running.
