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.


Engaging the PTO

  1. Sit on operator’s seat.

  2. Lock the park brake.
