■ From the table above we learn about the safety features of the PTO. When the monitor on the dash panel is blinking it indicatesto the oper-
ator 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 the rotating blades of certain imple-
ments 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.
