Operating Power Take-Offs

causym CAUTION: Always disengage the PTO when not in use.

causym CAUTION: High-inertia implements do not stop 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.

NOTE: On tractors with PowrQuad Plus or AutoQuad Plus transmission, the electronic engine-speed matching should be turned off during PTO operation. See Settings for the relevant transmission in the Operating the Tractor section.

To switch on the PTO, press switch (A) or (B) down and then forward. To switch off the PTO, pull the switch back.

NOTE: If the engine is switched off and then restarted while the PTO is running, the PTO will not operate. Even so, indicator lights (C) remain on. Switch off PTO and then restart.

On tractors with AutoPowr transmission, an audible alarm warns the operator if he leaves his seat while the PTO is still running.

To disengage the gear train, pull lever (A) up; to engage, push the lever down.
