Operating the Electronic PTO System
The PTO can be turned ON/OFF by using either an internal ON/OFF switch, located on the right hand
console, or by external remote push buttons, (if equipped), on both of the rear fenders. The electronic
PTO control system provides controlled modulation of PTO clutch engagement regardless of the engine
speed or implement size. This allows smooth PTO engagement at any speed up to full throttle. The PTO is
independent of the transmission and can be operated anytime the engine is running. The tractor motion can
be started or stopped in any of the forward or reverse speeds without affecting the speed of the power takeoff
shaft. Also, the PTO shaft can be started or stopped without affecting the speed of the tractor.
NOTE: The upper limit control should always be used, see page 135 (item 7), when using the PTO.
Internal PTO Controls
Turning the PTO ON/OFF from Inside the Cab:
STEP 1
MD05M021
Lift the locking collar (1) on the ON/OFF switch and
pull the switch up to the ON position. The switch will
stay in the ON position and the indicator lamp (2)
will illuminate to show the PTO is engaged.
IMPORTANT: If the tractor PTO exceeds a specifc
speed the PTO indicator lamps (1) and (2) will
flash. They will continue to flash until the PTO
speed is reduced.
MI03C064
540: The lamps will flash when the PTO speed
exceeds 630 rpm and will continue to flash until the
speed drops below 600 rpm.
1000 PTO: The lamps will flash when the PTO
speed exceeds 1170 rpm and will continue to flash
until the speed drops below 1100 rpm.
IMPORTANT: If the operator gets off the seat when
the PTO is running an audible alarm will sound for 7
seconds.
STEP 2
Push the ON/OFF switch fully down to disengage
the PTO. The PTO indicator lamp will turn off.
IMPORTANT: If the PTO is engaged and the
engine is stopped the PTO will disengage, but
the ON/OFF switch will remain in the ON
position. The engine will start if the ON/OFF
switch is not in the OFF position, but the PTO
shaft will not rotate and the PTO indicator lamp
will flash. Push the ON/OFF switch fully down to
the OFF position to turn off the indicator lamp
and enable the PTO system.
STEP 3
When the PTO is not in use ALWAYS install the
output shaft guard.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate without drive line
shields fitted. Make sure the tachometer is
working. Read the Operators Manual supplied
with PTO driven equipment.
