10. Push hand throttle forward to stop. Ensure engine speed is 1700 rpm. Repeat step 9 as necessary.

    IMPORTANT: The 540 Economy is ideal for any PTO application where full horsepower is not needed.

    Overall operating experience improves because there is less noise and vibration for the operator.

    For heavy-duty operations that require maximum PTO power use only 540 PTO (Not 540E).

    IMPORTANT: When using 540E PTO engine rpm should be within 1700 to 1900, operating above these rpm could damage some internal components or implements.
