Overspeed Protection

The following applies to the shiftable PTO for 540/540E/1000 rpm:

Upper limit for engine speed

If the PTO speed exceeds the rated PTO speed by more than 14.4%, the engine speed is reduced automatically to avoid overspeeding of the implement.

Warning message

If the PTO speed is 17% higher than the rated PTO speed (e.g. weight pushing from behind when driving downhill), a message will appear at the CommandCenter and the blue INFO lamp on the dashboard will flash.

PTO shutoff

If the PTO speed is 17% higher than the rated PTO speed for more than 2 seconds, the PTO will be shut off. If the PTO speed is 30% higher than the rated PTO speed, the PTO will be shut off immediately.
