NOTE: Adjust the PTO control lever linkage every 100 hours.
1. The PTO control lever must move easily (soft), through
the first 50% of travel. The remaining 50% of control
lever travel must have a resistance (hard).
2. At the point of resistance (50% into the control lever
stroke), attach a pull scale to the PTO control lever. A
reading of 5 kg is correct at the point of resistance (50%
into the control lever stroke). A reading of 12-13 kg is
correct at the full engagement point (the final 50% of
control lever travel). If the control lever stroke is not
correct, or the amount of resistance on the pull scale at
the point of resistance is incorrect, proceed to step 3.
NOTE: The adjustment bolt on the PTO adjustment
linkage uses left-hand threads.
3. Loosen the locknuts on the PTO adjustment linkage.

4. Turn the adjustment rod and recheck the resistance on the
pull scale and the control lever stroke. Repeat this step
until the control lever stroke and the pull resistance are
correct.
5. Tighten the locknuts.
