SECTION 2 – OPERATION
2-15
OPERATION OF THE POWER TAKE-OFF
(PTO)
1. Before attaching either mid or rear PTO, stop
the tractor engine.
NOTE: To rotate the rear PTO with engine not
running, the PTO selector lever must be in the
mid PTO position only.
WARNING
To reduce the possibility of personal injury,
comply with the following guidelines before
attaching or detaching PTO equipment, and
before working on or clearing PTO
equipment.
• Remove pressure from the H.S.T.
forward/reverse speed pedals, and move
the transmission range lever into the
"NEUTRAL" (N) position.
• Set the parking brake.
• Disengage the PTO using the PTO clutch
lever.
• Remove the PTO cap.
• Wait until the PTO shaft stops turning.
• Attach the mounted or drawn equipment.
Ensure that the equipment-driven shaft is
properly aligned and locked to the tractor
PTO driveshaft, and that the PTO shield is
lowered into the guarded position.
2. With the PTO disengaged, start the engine.
For mounted equipment, raise and lower the
equipment to ensure there are proper
clearances for operation.
3. With the transmission range lever still in
neutral (N), move the PTO selector to the
desired position.
IMPORTANT: The PTO may be damaged if the
PTO selector lever is not fully moved to the
selected positions.
4. Engage the selected PTO by moving the
PTO clutch lever to the right and fully
forward.
5. Check the PTO-driven equipment for proper
operation by gradually increasing the engine
RPM with the manual throttle control.
6. If the equipment is operating properly, shift
the transmission range lever from neutral
into the desired speed range.
7. Gradually apply pressure to the H.S.T.
forward speed pedal, to start the PTO and
tractor in motion.
8. Control the PTO speed using the throttle.
Never operate in an overspeed condition.
9. When making sharp turns with towed
equipment, or with mounted equipment in the
fully raised position, disengage the rear PTO
using the PTO clutch lever.
10. When travelling on highways or for any great
distance, disconnect the PTO-driven shaft at
the tractor PTO shaft.
11. Reinstall the PTO shaft cap whenever
PTO-driven equipment is disconnected from
the tractor, or when the PTO is not being
used.
WARNING
To avoid inadvertent movement of PTO
implement, disengage the PTO after each
use.
