SECTION 2 – OPERATION
2-14
PTO LEVER CONTROL
The PTO Selector lever ① is located on the LH
control pod, outboard of the mower height
adjustment lever. The selector lever allows the
operator engage one of the following three PTO
positions:
Rear position - Rear PTO ONLY engaged
Center position - Rear AND Mid PTO engaged
Forward position - Mid PTO ONLY engaged
The PTO Clutch lever ② is located on the RH
control pod, outboard of the rear hitch control
lever. To engage the selected PTO(s), move the
PTO clutch lever to the left, fully forward then to
the right. To disengage the PTO clutch, move the
lever to the left and then fully rearward.
To engage PTO, place PTO selector lever ①
into the desired location, then shift the PTO
clutch lever ② into the engaged position.
NOTE: The PTO clutch must be disengaged to
change the PTO selection. The clutch must also
be disengaged to start the tractor engine.
IMPORTANT: Most PTO equipment is
designed to operate most efficiently at 540 ±10
RPM. The tachometer has a mark which
indicates the correct engine RPM for 540 RPM
PTO operation. Operating equipment faster than
this decreases efficiency, and may be
dangerous.
PTO SHIELD AND CAP
The PTO shield ③ and cap ④ are standard
equipment.
Use the PTO shield with both mounted and
pull-type equipment. The shield rotates upward,
allowing for easy implement attachment to the
PTO stub shaft.
The PTO cap should always be installed when
the PTO is not in use.
