• 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.
• 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.

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.
