SECTION 2 - OPERATION

5.With the engine at 1000 RPM, engage the PTO. It is activated by a two-motion switch, 1, located on the right console. To engage the clutch, push down on the center button, 1, and lift up on the outer knob, 2. An indicator lamp will light on the warning light bar. The PTO has built-in modulation to provide a smooth transition during start-up of the PTO clutch.

NOTE: The PTO will not engage if engine speed is greater than 1400 RPM. If the engine speed is dropping from above 1400 RPM, the PTO will not engage until the engine speed drops below 1340 RPM. Shut the switch off, lower the engine speed, and turn the switch on.

6.Increase the engine speed to 2100 RPM before beginning field operation. To display PTO output speed, turn the rotary select switch to the “PTO Speed” position.

NOTE: When the engine speed is at 2100 RPM, the PTO speed will be 1000 RPM. Be sure to adjust the loaded or unload engine speed to 2100 RPM to maintain 1000 RPM on the PTO shaft.

7.If possible, lower the engine RPM, disengage the PTO, and raise the implement before making sharp turns.

8.Be sure that the park brake is on, the transmission is in neutral and the tractor is in a straight line configuration with the articulation lock engaged for stationary applications.

DANGER: NEVER LEAVE THE TRACTOR SEAT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND/OR THE PTO ENGAGED.
