OPERATION
D
8
• The operator must use this blinking
signal to clear the area around the
tractor off bystanders/onlookers as
the rotating blades of certain
implements can accidentally cause
injuries to the persons standing near
the tractor.
• The stopping of the PTO when the
implement is lifted off the ground
with the position control prevents
the damage to the implement or the
PTO shaft.
▶ PTO ROTATION TABLE
• From the table above we learn about
the safety features of the PTO.
When the monitor on the dash panel
is blinking it indicates to the
operator that the PTO is in the on
position but temporarily not rotating
because the implement is lifted off
the ground or both. The PTO will
start rotating instantaneously when
the implement is lowered to the
ground.

When the PTO mode switch is in manual
position the PTO does not stop rotating.
If working on hard soils, pavements with
a rotary implement the PTO ON/OFF
switch must be put to the OFF position
to stop the PTO from rotating.
If this is not done, the rotating blades of
the implement will push on the hard
ground below and in turn push the
tractor toward causing accident which
can lead to serious injuries or death.
Extra precaution must be taken to clear
the area of bystanders/onlookers when
using PTO driven implements.
The rotating blades of the implements
can cause serious injuries on contact.
The warning that is indicated by the
blinking PTO monitor is to make the
operator aware that the PTO is in on
position and will instantly start rotating
if the implement is lowered or both.
In no case the specified rotating speeds
indicated by the implement
manufacturer be crossed as the same
can lead to serious damage to the
tractor/equipment and can lead to
serious injuries to persons around.
