Rotating Drivelines

RG17921-UN-11NOV09

John Deere Rear PTO (Optional)

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

If option 9201 or 9207 is ordered to make the rear PTO compatible with other manufacturer's drivelines, be sure that proper shielding is in place before operation.

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

The optional rear power take-off (PTO) from John Deere transfers engine power to auxiliary equipment or moving components which may be mounted on the vehicle or trailed behind. It is an engine-driven PTO which operates whenever the engine is running.

IMPORTANT: An additional 2.0 L (2.1 qt.) of oil must be added to the crankcase for lubrication of the rear PTO option. (See Engine Crankcase Oil Fill Quantities in the Specifications Section.)

Proper performance of the power take-off unit will be related to the care it is given. Periodically check for any oil leaks that may occur.

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