IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum output durability of the PTO shaft.
• Make sure that the length of the PTO drive shaft is correct for the PTO-driven
implements to be used.
The shaft must be able to work at full deflection vertically and horizontally.
IMPORTANT: A shaft that is too long can cause damage.
• Attach the PTO-driven implement to the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Attach the implement to the tractor before connecting the
power take-off (PTO) drive shaft between the tractor and the implement.
Otherwise, the implement can start to rotate with the PTO drive shaft.
• Install the PTO drive shaft according to the manufacturer's instructions.
DANGER: When fastening the power take-off (PTO) drive shaft
between the tractor and the implement, check that its guard is
undamaged. Attach the guard to a stationary part of the tractor
frame or implement.
• Engage the PTO at a low engine speed to protect the PTO.
• In freezing weather, ensure that the working hydraulic oil is warm before
engaging the PTO.
Before engaging the PTO in freezing weather:
• let the working hydraulic oil warm up for a few minutes with the maximum
flow of 50%. To adjust the flow, select the factory setting for medium
output (50%) with the selector for the hydraulic predefined factory/user
settings.
• When engaging the PTO and the attached implement allows it, wait
approximately 5 seconds until the clutch of the PTO shaft is totally engaged
before loading it.
3.18.2 Rear power take-off
You can use power take-off (PTO) to transmit power from the tractor to an
implement.
The PTO shaft is a splined driveshaft that is easily connected and disconnected.
The rear power take-off controls are the following:
