Engaging And Disengaging Front PTO (If Equipped)

TS198-UN-23AUG88

Avoid Entanglement

CAUTION: Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death. Keep shield on PTO driveshaft between clutch housing and the engine driven equipment at all times during engine operation. Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustments.

CAUTION: Metal surfaces of PTO housing may be hot to the touch during operation or at shutdown.

The optional front power take-off (PTO) from John Deere transfers engine power to auxiliary equipment or moving components.

The PTO clutch is electric and engaged by a switch. Engage the clutch on propulsion engines at engine speeds below 1200 rpm. Engage Gen-Set engines at no load rpm.

If the power take-off does not work properly, contact your authorized servicing dealer or engine distributor.
