Operating Rear PTO

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 Electronic System, which controls the PTO, prevents the PTO from engaging during engine start-up. Modifications to the system may defeat this and other safety features.

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

To switch on the PTO, pull 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, light (A) still will glow. Switch off PTO and then restart.

If the operator leaves his seat while the PTO is switched on, an audible signal will sound and the light (A) 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.
