4.6 PTO MANAGEMENT
In addition to referring to the Use and Maintenance Handbook, it is recommended that the indications listed below are always
observed.
1. The PTO is engaged and disengaged by means of a solenoid valve which is activated by a button on the dashboard and man-
ages a pneumatic control.
These operations are only possible with the vehicle stationary and the clutch pedal pressed (with the vehicle stationary and
selector set to N in the case of automatic gearbox).
2. With the PTO engaged, the transfer box rpm must be between 1200 and 2500 rpm as this is the maximum value permitted
regardless of the conditions of use (NB: the user is responsible for carrying out this check).
Subsequently, use of 6
th
gear is not possible (7
th
and 8
th
in the case of automatic gearboxes) due to the high multiplication
effect on the engine speed.
3. With the PTO engaged, the automatic gearbox must be operated in manual mode.
4. Torque delivery from the PTO is inversely proportional to the engine speed and the maximum value is 800 Nm.
5. The PTO can be used with a maximum angle of 30° (longitudinal) and 20° (transversal).
Caution!
The PTO must be disengaged :
▶ a) before switching off the engine using the Bodybuilder connector; otherwise, it will not be
possible to restart the engine using this connector.
▶ b) when torque take-off is not in progress.
▶ c) before moving the vehicle in reverse gear (limitations on the PTO cooling pump due to high
engine speed).
4.6.1 Adjust the engine speed for drive take-off
The engine management control unit provides a function which enables simultaneous adjustment of the engine revs and the power
take-off by operating the Cruise Control lever (see Figure 4)
