IMPORTANT: Do NOT engage or disengage the ground speed PTO under load. Maximum speed for switching on or off: 3 km/h (1.6 mph). Maximum travel speed with ground speed PTO switched on: 15 km/h (8.1 mph).

The ground speed PTO can be switched on and off only with lever (A). Raise the lock to switch on; do NOT raise the lock to switch off. Light (B) comes on when the ground speed PTO is engaged. The PTO has a transmission ration of 21.8:1. This means that the PTO turns 21.8 times for each rotation of the rear axle. The distance travelled for each rotation of the PTO varies depending on tire size.

In contrast to the two other types of PTO (540E/540), clutch (C) must not be actuated.

CAUTION: When an implement is connected to the ground speed PTO, lever (A) must be in neutral or the position for ground speed PTO; the lever must not be in the 540 or 540E positions.

Pay attention to the direction in which the PTO stub shaft rotates. The PTO stub shaft changes the direction in which it rotates depending on whether the tractor is travelling forward or reversing.

The ground speed PTO remains engaged until lever (A) is moved manually to neutral. The ground speed PTO remains active if it is already engaged when the engine is restarted; it starts to rotate as soon as the vehicle moves.
