The customer may choose to use the PTO while the

vehicle is moving. To do so, the PTO function must be

activated prior to taking the vehicle out of PARK. This is

accomplished by activating the upfitter-provided PTO

on/off switch. At this point, the customer may place the

vehicle in a forward or reverse gear and have PTO

operation once the vehicle begins to move. To disengage

PTO operation and return to “standard vehicle opera-

tion” simply toggle the on/off switch to the OFF position.
NOTE:

For application specific information with respect

to PTO and pump requirements and additional vehicle

information (wiring schematics, preset idle values, en-

gine speed limits, and vehicle hardware and software

requirements) please refer to the Body Builders Guide by

ENGINE RUNAWAY

Diesel engine runaway is a rare condition affecting diesel

engines, where the engine consumes its own lubrication

oil and runs at higher and higher RPM until it overspeeds

to a point where it destroys itself due to either mechani-

cal failure or engine seizure through lack of lubrication.
