A - PTO Control Lever


CAUTION: Avoid personal injury. Stop engine and allow PTO driveline to stop before adjusting, connecting, or cleaning PTO-driven equipment.

Always disengage PTO when not in use.

PTO can be engaged or disengaged without operating clutch.

NOTE: Service Alert indicator light will flash, a message appears on CommandCenter™ display, and an audible warning sounds if operator leaves seat with PTO engaged. PTO does not disengage when operator is off seat.

Push PTO control lever down and forward (A) to engage PTO. PTO indicator on corner post monitor will light.

IMPORTANT: If PTO disengages during start up in cold weather operation, wait 5 minutes before reengaging PTO to avoid damage.

Tractor software will NOT allow operator to reengage PTO immediately if engine rpms drop excessively due to heavy load at PTO startup. There will be a 10-15 second delay before operator can reengage PTO. This delay allows clutch to cool before it is reengaged.

Pull PTO control lever to disengage clutch and PTO brake will engage automatically.

NOTE: If engine is stopped and then restarted while PTO is running, PTO will not operate. Disengage PTO control switch and then engage PTO again.
