■ 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 either because the clutch pedal is pressed or the implement is lifted off the ground or both.
The PTO will start rotating instantaneously when either the clutch pedal is released and/or the implement is
lowered to the ground.
■
■■
■ The operator must use this blinking signal to clear the area around the tractor off bystanders/onlookers as
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.
1.When the PTO control switch is in manual position the PTO does not stop
rotating even if the clutch pedal is pressed. 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.
2. 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 clutch pedal is released or implement is lowered or both.
3.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.
