Operator can select from three different PTO engagement rates: AUTO, Low, and High.

AUTO: Used for most implements, and is factory setting in CommandCenter™. This setting provides software logic to determine engagement rate for PTO clutch, based on PTO speed sensor feedback. If PTO does not turn fast enough during initial PTO clutch engagement, engagement rate is automatically increased to avoid clutch slip and PTO shutdown.

Low: Can be used where gradual PTO start-up is required, or if Auto engagement is too aggressive or inconsistent.

High: Can be used for applications where PTO clutch engagement must be aggressive.

IMPORTANT: If problems with PTO clutch engagement occur in Auto setting and Under Speed Diagnostic Trouble Code is displayed, change PTO engagement setting in CommandCenter™ from Auto to High Rate to prevent power train damage.

Operating PTO with excessive load could damage PTO clutch and other components. When excessive load is detected, PTO automatically disengages. Wait 15 seconds before attempting to reengage PTO. If problem occurs during engagement, PTO speed may need to be decreased.
