Using Rear PTO (Operator Off Seat)

IMPORTANT: Use rear mounted equipment rated for 540 rpm. Do not operate mid or rear PTO over 540 RPM mark on tachometer.

NOTE: The mid-PTO is only operational with the operator on the seat.

2. Lock the park brake.

3. Move the transmission range shift lever to the N (neutral) position.

   If the operator leaves the seat with the engine running and the mid-PTO engaged, the safety interlock system will stop the engine and all implements.

   Start the engine.

5. Set engine speed to 1500 rpm or less.
