IMPORTANT: PTO will not engage if engine is started
with the switch in the engage position. Move switch to
disengage and then engage.
IMPORTANT: Never try to release dead locked im-
plements by repeated clutch engagement and disen-
gagement. The front power takeoff clutch will slip and
become damaged.

OPERATION1
Reducetheenginerpm.

position.Theindicatorlampintheswitchwillgoout
whenthefrontpowertakeoffisdisengaged.

disengaged.
OPERATION4
AlwaysinstallthePTOshaftguardwhenthePTOisnot
beingused.
IMPORTANT: High-inertia implements do not become
stationary immediately when PTO is disengaged. Allow
sufficient time for implement to “run down” to a halt
before cleaning or adjusting.
Thefrontpowertake-offhasa6splineoutputshaftwhich
rotates at 1000 rpm.  Engagement is electrohydraulic,
actuatedbyathreepositionrockerswitch(OFF,ONand
ENGAGED)situatedontheRHsideconsole.Depending
uponmarketrequirements,thefrontPTOcanbesupplied
with two different directions of rotation (clockwise or
counter-clockwise).
IMPORTANT: When using implements that cause
shock loads, always use a safety coupler between the
implement and the PTO drive shaft. Before using the
implement, check the correct operation both of the
safety coupler and of the implement.
IMPORTANT: When using implements with quickly
moving parts (such as mowers, reapers, snowploughs)
ALWAYS fit an overrun device on the implement drive
shaft, as a protection against possible PTO faults.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the implement PTO shaft is
not too long or the PTO is not damaged when the front
mounted implement must be lifted fully up.
