SECTION 4: INSTALLATION
PTO manufacturers provide specific installa-
tion instructions with their products. Their
instructions should be followed when installing
the PTO. The following steps are provided as
an introduction to the installation.
NOTE
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE
AND MODIFY EXHAUST COMPONENTS
TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR PTO CLEAR-
ANCE.
1. Chock the wheels of the vehicle.
2. Secure any part attached to or on the
vehicle which could move or pose a hazard.
3. Run the engine and transmission in a well
ventilated area. Listen for noises which
indicate any engine/transmission problems.
The engine and transmission should be in
good operating condition before the installation
of the PTO.
4. Become familiar with the PTO
manufacturer’s installation instructions,
warnings, and precautions.
5. After the engine and transmission have
cooled, drain the transmission fluid. Check
the fluid for signs of damage such as metal
chips, etc.
6. With the vehicle engine “Off”, visually
inspect the transmission for gear damage or
foreign particles lodged between gear teeth.
7. Remove the PTO from its shipping con-
tainer. Inspect for foreign objects which may
have lodged in the PTO cavity.
8. Mount the PTO per manufacturer’s in-
structions.
9. Check backlash per manufacturer’s
instructions.
10. Refill the transmission with
manufacturer’s recommended lubricant to the
proper level.
11. Install the shifter cable to suit conditions.
Always allow a slight overshift on lever or knob
to make certain PTO is fully engaged.
CAUTION
AVOID SHARP BENDS IN THE SHIFTER
CABLE. ALL BENDS SHOULD HAVE A
MINIMUM 6" RADIUS. TIGHTER BENDS
CAUSE DIFFICULT OPERATION OF THE
SHIFTER CABLE.
12. Make sure the vehicle has all safety and
operation decals.
13. Start the engine, engage the PTO and
allow to run for 5 to 10 minutes. Check for
leaks, unusual noise and proper operation.
14. Check PTO mounting bolts for proper
torque as specified by manufacturer.
4-3-2: PUMP INSTALLATION
Install the pump as follows:
1. Check pump rotation and bolt the pump to
the PTO. Torque the mounting bolts per
Torque Data Chart.
2. Install adapters in the pump inlet and
outlet. Use a thread sealer and adequately
tighten fittings to prevent leakage. These will
vary in size dependent on pump and hose
fitting size required.
3. If the pump is mounted directly to the PTO
and the weight of the pump exceeds 40 lbs
(18 kgs), install a bracket to support the rear
of the pump. Make sure the bracket supports
the pump from the transmission, not the
chassis frame.
