This manual covers the latest compact portable tractor driven Power Take Off (PTO) generator set model from Winco. This
15,000 watt generator, is designed to provide120/240V single phase electrical power for standby and utility service when
commercial power interrupted, inaccessible or impractical. This PTO unit has a cast iron gear cases with a 1-3/8” – 6 spline, 540
rpm input shafts and brushless, heavy-duty 3600 rpm, 2 pole, low waveform distortion generators.
This compact PTO generator units is designed to provide reliable electrical power for customers who already have a compact
utility tractor with 24 to 40 horsepower and a 540 rpm PTO shaft. The PTO unit is a cost-effective way of providing needed
electrical power without the cost or added maintenance of a dedicated drive engine. Primary applications for these PTOs are for
infrequent or medium duty loads where the unit will normally be operated less than 50 to100 hours per year. Typical uses might
be for farm, ranch or home standby or portable field power away from convenient utility or where running an extension cord is
impractical. The compact PTO units are built to last, but are not intended for prime power (continuous or sole source) applica-
tions.
