PTO OPERATION
WARNING
Whenever operating PTO equipment observe the
following safety precautions:
•
Follow the equipment operator’s manual
instructions.
• Do not wear loose clothing when operating
PTO equipment.
• When operating PTO driven equipment, stop
the engine and wait until the PTO shaft and
equipment stops before getting off the
tractor and working on the equipment.
• Do not clean or adjust PTO driven equipment
while the tractor engine is running.
• Be sure that the PTO master shield is
installed.
• Always apply the tractor parking brake and
block the rear wheels front and back when
operating stationary PTO equipment.
• Do not work under any equipment which is
supported only by the hydraulic lift or remote
cylinder. Always use suitable blocking or
supports.
• Always replace the PTO shaft cover when the
PTO is not being used.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the seat while the PTO
is operating, the PTO warning alarm will sound for
five seconds and the PTO lamp will flash.
The PTO brake will remain applied as long as the
engine is running and the PTO is off. When the
engine is shut off, the brake will release so the PTO
shaft can be turned by hand when attaching
equipment.
Adjusting PTO Speed
Operate equipment at the correct PTO speed. PTO
speed is directly related to engine speed. Adjust
engine speed as follows:
PTO RPM Engine RPM
540 1880
1000 1900
IMPORTANT: Do not operate equipment above the
recommended PTO speed.
NOTE: The PTO has a non-critical overspeed alert.
If 540 PTO speed is greater than 630 RPM or 1000
PTO speed is greater than 1152 RPM, the “PTO ON”
status lamp will flash and a 1-second audible alarm
will occur. The green system status lamp will also
flash when the PTO status “overspeed” alert occurs.
