CAUTION: Always disengage the PTO when not in use.

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: An acoustic alarm warns the operator and the yellow CAUTION on the dashboard flashes if the operator leaves his seat while the PTO is engaged. The PTO does not disengage when operator leaves seat.

NOTE: If the engine is shut 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 IVT, an acoustic alarm warns the operator if he leaves his seat while the PTO is still running.

A - Lever

1 - Disengaged

2 - Engaged

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

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

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